In my FS case. We've had him since he was 8 weeks old and he is now almost 21 months. We've gone to all of the court hearings and I've supservised almost all of the visits or at least been a part of them. The whole time I have and contiue to feel like his mother. I know his birthmother is in NO position to parent him. I know he came from her womb but that does not make her his Mommy. He knows who his mommy is.

We've just had the TPR hearing in March where he rights have been terminated and she has had her final visit with him. But now she has chosen to appeal the TPR and it will hold up his adoption for another 6months to a year.

We have offered a semi open adoption with just letter and pictures at this point because she is so heavily into drugs at this time and through out the case. But I would be open to having visits with her if she appeared clean and if that ever happens in my heart and mind and my sons I will always be his Mommy and she will be his birthmom. I won't have the confusion and mixed feelings I had with my daughter and her adoption. Their situations are so completely different.
