Bio.Son and adopting a baby--jealousy?
Hello all,
I am new to the board but I certainly have enjoyed reading all the posts.
My story goes like this:
We have a bio. son, age 12. After struggling many years with endometriosis I ended up having an emergency hysterecomy in Aug. 2002. Thus, ended the chance of ever conceiving another bio. child. About 3 weeks ago, clear out of the blue..we were contacted with a private adoption opportunity of a baby that will be born very soon.
Since that time..our son has become very moody. He is very quick with his temper (not like him at all!) and complains of a headache all the time.
Now, I do know that he is probably stressed out - just as we are. But, does anyone have any advice on how to include him in the adoption without him being feel like it is forced? Could it be that he is jealous and the baby isn't even here yet?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you.
