I am taking my son to meet his first family in July (he was adopted from foster care at age 4). I just know who to talk to or not talk to about it.
I guess, ultimately, my dad is MY DAD and he thinks his job is to protect me, and because he THINKS this will hurt ME, he doesnt want me to do it. I just dont discuss it with him -- I simply INFORM him, but dont ask his opinion, and I might say something to him to NOT say anything about it in front of our son.
