I totally agree with Mom to 1(on her way to becoming Mom to 2, I hear) when she says this may be the A Dad's thing.
My Dad was totally defensive about our being adopted. He had a hard time with the thought of us ever looking for our birthparents, he would have just flipped with an open adoption. I don't know why men are like this more then woman, probably something to do with which side of the brain they use. I agree to meet the A Mom on her terms, don't take it personnally, and let her work on him.
Congrats to all of you who are working out lifes challenges and doing so in a respectful and loving manner. Warms the cockles of my heart!
