different type of attachment issue

Hey, I am a single adoptive dad of a now 11 year old little man. I adopted him when he was just turning 4 and while the story of why I adopted may be long, I won't bore you with the details. Well, almost 8 years have gone by and I have found the love of my life. A woman who loves me for being me and for how big of a heart I have/had for adopting my son. All along he has asked me when I'm going to get him a mommy, and as shy as I am, I told him someday God will bless us with someone. Well, now that the time has come, he don't want a mommy and is afraid that I will forget him and wont have anything to do with him. He is acting babyish by crying, having tantrums, among others but I do know that he loves M. with all of his heart. She loves him and we have talked that this is going to be a long process in which he feels good about it all. I do have a therapy session scheduled for June 1st (my birthday) but am afraid he will start to ruin our relationship. I constatly remind him that he is loved and won't ever be forgotten or abandoned. Not sure what else I can do. Any suggestions ?
