I am so sorry for all the pain you have experienced as an adoptive child.
I am a Grandmother and have temporary custody of my 1 year old Grandchild because her biological Mommy is very irresponsible. I would like to adopt this beautiful child since the "real" parents won't take care of her the way she, and EVERY child deserves to be taken care of.
I am soooo sorry for all your pain, and reading your post brought tears to my eyes. I never want to cause my Grandchild ANY pain, as she has experienced enough already.
I am only 40 yrs. old, and hope I can be a young Grandma so my Grandchild is not embarrassed or shamed in any way.
Knowing how you feel about being adopted, I will try my best to ALWAYS be honest with my Grandchild and let her know, (if we do get to adopt), as soon as she can understand that she is adopted by her Grandma and who her biological Mommy is. I have thought about it before and decided that I would tell her the truth, that her "real" Mommy loved her so much that she wanted her to have the best home she possibly could and have all the love and security that Grandma could provide and Mommy couldn't at the time.
Do you have any other tips for me to help this child know that she is the most wonderful being on Earth and to know just how much her "real" Mommy and I love her?
Thank you so much, and please know that you are very wonderful people for sharing your stories and feelings so openly.
