Hi. I am a birthmother. I know that when I was searching for adoptive parents I was looking for people who were themselves. They continued with their everyday activities, and did not change themselves just to suit me. I think that is what made things so special at the time. They included me in some of their family outings so I could get to know them better, and it gave me a chance to see all different sides of them.
I speak on panels sometimes for adoptions. And the one thing that the adoption attorney always says is the most important thing you can do when connecting with a birthmother is be yourselves. It will make all the difference in the world.
And I personally would have been fine with having a couple of the same sex raise my child/ren.
Best Wishes to you both and your family.
Margie
