Just a suggestion :)
I am an amom and yes, I don't know everything. I came here to get insight on how to deal with emotions regarding a relative adoption. My DH and I had literally one day to decide to adopt. How's that for knowing NOTHING about adoption. We weren't looking to adopt, but sometimes life throws you a curve ball.
I have read first mom struggles and adoptive mom struggles and I can empathize with both. I don't usually post in the first parent section because I don't want to come across as an "uneducated" amom. But, the questions posed there have helped me.
I do want to become more aware as an amom and I think first moms/dads want to know how the adoptive parents feel.
My suggestion is this: Why not start a new section of threads only about open, semi and closed adoption? A place where people can go and know that all sides are open to comment and educate each other. If you feel ganged up on, you do not have to post there.
I think that would really help hurt feelings around here.
