I agree with JustPeachy, amom seems to be very reasonable, for the circumstances. Bmom is definitely coming on too strong. What is she trying to prove? I can buy you things your adoptive mother (who is probably paying college tuition) cannot:
- a new cell phone (so amom does not see the bills and know who calls and how often);
- a new computer (so amom does not have passwords);
- come on a roadtrip to visit me without your amom;
- come to a family reunion without your amom.
If she were married and were asked to do all this without her husband, would that be acceptable? I don't thing so! So, amom is not a "BLOOD RELATIVE". ( Neither are husbands.)
This scenario may be unusual, but it is exactly why amoms "fear" the return of bmoms. Twenty-one seems to be the magical "snatch back" number, because the "child" is now legally an "adult" and the aparents no longer matter. Just send them a thank-you card and wave bye-bye.
