Mamabee..
my name is shef and I am from the closed adoption era, and long term fostered........
I agree with what Jody has said to you in her reply.....but my family were not able to talk about adoption or my background with me......and I rememebr at the age of around 10, it was beginning to be very important to me as I came into puberty, about my mother. I had so many qeustions..that no one seemd to be able to answer....but soemtimes as a child you dont know how to ask the "right" questions in order to get to the answers that are forming in you...so be open to aksing your son if he wants to talk about things at all....openess goes a long way, even if he is not ready at this time..he will remember that you have not closed down on him and that you are willing to talk about this subject with him. Also, its good to be able to have some supprot for yourself as you go through the emotions it might evoke in you...just my opinion.
bless your heart this coming mothers day.
