LuLu - thanks for bringing up the point about the SS# - that and our annual income are the only 2 tings we asked our agency to black out if they ever shared our homestudy with an expectant mother. In this day and age, it is only prudent to keep that particular identifier as private as possible. On the other hand, with name (first, middle, maiden and last) a birthdate, address and phone it is virtually impossible to drop off the face of the earth - we are more findable than ever.

Other things (if I was placing a child) I would look at was the edcuation regarding open adoption the Adoptive Parents have had - and what type of ongoing support/education they have available to them. As Brenda said - all relationships are complicated and sometimes some postive reinforcement from an outside source is a good idea.


Who else can I brag about our daughter with who actually loves to hear about her.

AMom - exactly right!
