Ah photos...my favorite thing! I'm a very visual person and love being surrounded by photos of loved ones on our walls. And we are in an extremely open adoption with our youngest daughter's first family so we do have photos of them on our walls. I did a photoshoot for J and J this past year and have my fave from that session blown up big and on our wall. I also have a fave of just J with A and have that one blown up big and on A's wall in her bedroom. I love it. It is my husband's favorite picture of them together too. I hope it's ok to attach and show it? J and J don't care, they know their pictures are on my blog and on my website.
My family and my husbands family are weirded out by our close relationship with A's first family, but frankly I could care less what anybody thinks about that. I talk about them very matter of factly. As far as we are concerned, they are our family. And I notice that it works well for our girls that way too. They both know A came out of J's belly (I did a maternity photo session for them too, so our girls can totally see the big belly and everything). They don't know any better, and we like it that way. There's nothing secretive about any of it. My only huge regret is that we have a closed adoption situation in regards to my oldest daughter.
