Jody, am I understanding correctly that it was the secret mystery of the tightly closed adoption that drove those who reunified to take those steps... but that they wished they had just had a little more information, all along but not totally an "open adoption".
I guess it is like hearing, "No no you can NOT know the details" that makes them feel they just MUST find out.
I am curious (but not fearful) about our 7-year old son's future interest. He knows he is adopted but does not grasp that there is another "mom" out there. We are taking the first steps toward perhaps adopting again... considering a domestic waiting boy out of foster (4-9 years). We know there are so many who need forever families and DS wants a brother so badly!
What kind of discussions will all of this bring on as we get closer? Do we just await his questions? That has been our plan. Wisdom anyone?
PS I am reading a very cool Christian book about facing challenges (fears) called "In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day". I highly recommend it!
