Just something to think about....
If this forum remains active and on the Internet when our kids are older, there is a chance that they could read posts you wrote about them and find out information that you might not want them knowing.
I firmly believe that the stories of our children's pasts belong to them. I don't feel comfortable keeping information from my children, yet telling other people - even if they are strangers - or people on this forum who you really don't know. (I'm not flaming you... just my opinion and something that I learned along the way once someone opened my eyes to it.)
I agree with the other posters that you can't always believe what is written in the social reports. I am sure that going through those interviews must be SO HARD for these women. I'm guessing that sometimes they just say something to make themselves look and feel better. I'd probably do the same thing in that position.
We are planning on telling our children (when they are old enough to hear it), "This is the information we were given, but we aren't sure if it is true because..... But we do know that God doesn't make mistakes and no matter why your birthmother placed you, God always knew you'd be our son/daughter - even from the beginning of time." because that is what we know FOR SURE.
