Oh, Rachael. Thanks to you, and the others who have posted here, I really understand now. DD's birth mom and I have talked about this, and it's amazing how difficult it is to field questions. People don't think about that part of it (I know I didn't), and what a challenge it must be.
By the way, it's DD's 1st birthday today, and we are having the birth mom and her family over for dinner; things are going really well, and this open adoption thing is definitely something I recommend. I don't think I felt that way even 6 months ago; but now we've weathered some tough times together, and I'd do it all again. I even look forward to our relationship in the years to come, even though we'll probably hit some other bumps along the way.
Best wishes to you--
PraiseMom
