Thanks-- this is very helpful. Hearing from Tara, Jenna, and "Modern" is reassuring, and I feel less "icky" about it. But you're all right-- I also need to set some boundaries. Scary, but true!

I'd love to get clear on what her expectations are, but she doesn't seem willing.. or perhaps, able... to verbalize them, except when she's been disappointed. Is this normal, as well?

Also, I've read/heard that I should just know it's going to be rocky for about one to two years, until birth mom has had some time to process, and grieve; and for us to get used to our role; and then our relationship will stabilize. Is that true in your experience? Thanks again.
