the only time my husband and I truly talked aboutr adoption it was internation so that we would never have to fear just what you are talking about. Then 5days before our dd was born we were contacted about her and the birthmom lived 30 seconds from our business. We did not know each other prior to this. We accepted and I am so thankful that this is how it happened. The first "bump" into situation was akward, but we smiled , they smiled and we moved on. We turned the baby (in the stroller) for them to take a peak. We were at a public place and we all agreed (bio parents to) that we didn't want our dd the topic of town gossip, so at this point we were still in the stage that most people didn't know that dd bio parents were local. BUt since then, it has been nothing but a blessing. The bio grandpa contacted us by mail to see if we would send him an update and pictures. Now he sees her montly and that too I am thankful for. Feel free to pm me for more details of situations we have been faced with in a "in town" adoption.
