I agree with love4 because it happened to me...

ROWAN...wrote

It is important for adoptive parents not to have this worry or fear as it is unhealthy and unfair to them.
It is also important they they know that their child meeting a birth parent or whoever, will never detract from the relationship between them and their children nor be a threat.


not always true...


similar to in-law or step relations...sometimes people choose only one family and sometimes it is not the adoptive ones who raised them but the ones who gave them life and didn't raise them...

My daughter said to me SO manytimes that she would never not want her family (meaning the ones who raised her) to be a part of her life...but her actions are not saying that...it happens...don't worry about it? YES, don't worry... but don't be shocked and grieve and lose sleep for forever(like I did) if it does happen to your family...remember it DOES happen sometimes...it happened to me...but you can go on and be thankful you raised the child you did and have no regrets...just miss them terribly and wish they hadn't moved on and left you behind...
