What if your child got very ill?
I was reading on another thread something that really caught my attention. So I thought I would ask it on this thread just a little differently.
If your adopted child was severely hurt in some kind of accident and you were told the child only had an hour or more to live, when would you contact and the birthfamily and let them know? As soon as you found out? After you had contacted your family? the day of or soon after your child passed? Or later after you had already had the funeral and let it all sink in?
Would your answer be different if you had 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or longer?
What if the birthparents lived in another state and couldn't possibly come to say goodbye anyways?
I thought I knew what my responce would be but the more I think about it, the more I realize I just don't know the answer(then again I have 4 different children...with different levels of contact as it is).
