Good luck, Elle!!

I just wanted to echo what you said about post-adoption support from the agency for OA. Ours was frankly zero. And I know that IRL I don't know any other parent in an OA so sometimes I feel like we all are navigating on our own. You definitely will find great help here (I know I have!).

The other thing I wanted to add is that we do not know DD's birth parents' families (the adoption was a "secret"). You can best bet that they (birth gma, etc.) have probably received ZERO information or counseling on OA. I think some of the "hardest" OA situations seem to not be about the relationship between the a parents and b parents but about the extended family. I'm not sure how to best "hammer" that out.....

GOOD LUCK!!
