WOW! Believe it or not, today is the first time ever that I have found that I am not the only birthmother/adoptive mother!!! <Jumping for Joy!> Well, I haven't officially adopted yet, but my husband & I finished our homestudy last month. We are pursuing an older child adoption. I gave my daughter up for adoption just over 8 years ago. 6 years ago, I gave birth to a son. Now, we want another child, but feel compelled to adopt a special needs child, rather than have another biological child. Many people close to me have asked me, "What do you thing [birthdaughter] will think when she finds out?" Well, I couldn't possibly answer that, but I hope she will take it in the loving & giving way it is intended. Still, that question seems to be kind of intrusive for people to ask! Oh well! Anyway, I'm glad to have found this board!!!
