My adoption was closed so I'm not sure I can give you the answers you are looking for.

If I found out DD's parents divorced I would probably be a little upset at first, but I would get over it. Divorce is too common nowadays. My concern would be how it was handled with the child. Are you explaining to the child that Mommy and Daddy love them very much and they are divorcing because they couldn't get along? The divorce has nothing to do with the child?

I think it is very important to make sure the child understands the divorce is not because of them and they understand that both parents love them. If this was explained then as a birthmother I would be okay. My fantasy of a perfect family would be a little tarnished, but I would be understanding.

Did that make sense????
