Questions you wish you could ask Your child's Birth Mom....

I am just wondering if you had the chance and could ask anything what would it be?

The facilitator and then facilitator/translator on our visit trip emailed and told us that our dd's birth mother was requesting photos. I sent a couple with a letter and asked if I could get a little more info abt. our dd first 3 years in Guatemala. At first there was no response but, after writingn again to double check that the letter & photos were received and helpful, I repeated the request. The facilitator who has contact with our Birth mom agreed to give more info and asked me to send over a list.

Okay...so, that was a day or two ago....I am kind of intimidated by it...WHAT exactly do I want to know???? also, I don't really know that I will get a response and don't want to ask too much for fear of going overboard and then discouraging th whole thing. I do want to know more about the pregnancy and birth. What their favorite things to do together.

Any way I welcome any suggestions you have....Thanks!
