Two moms???
Okay, My dh and I have just joined an agency that does open adoptions. I personally believe that this is really the right way to go, no matter how difficult it may be for us. Anyway, I have read some posts that says that the child will "always have two moms"...is this the way it is looked at? I believe that the child will have ONE mom, (the Adoptive Mom) and a birthmom. I completely respect the birthmom's out there, and realize and am OK with the child always having a special bond that she has with her. But, to say that the child has two mom's is very confusing. I am still researching Open Adoption and am SO excited to begin, but this kind of freaks me out. As much as I want the birthmom to be our extended family, I don't want my child to think of her as it's "2nd mom".....
I hope this doesn't sound harsh, I am just confused and have not done much research in wording, etc (or just starting out)....I would love to hear experiences, etc!! Thank you!!
