Thanks!
For your words of encouragement. I did have the talk with my boy that same night. . .just the more family and friends I talked with, the more nervous I became. I decided it was like pulling off a Band-Aid, just easier to do it sooner than later. He took it very well. It's been a week now and he's only asked a few questions, nothing very specific like the bio's name or anything. He doesn't seem very interested in him (thank God!), mostly just curious about the facts and timeline. We're planning a HUGE BBQ with everyone we know coming and bringing him gifts to celebrate. He's been helping plan that and has made a countdown til the party. I think all the attention he's gotten and seeing how happy this has made not just our family but our extended family of friends really makes it easier. I tried to emphasize how much his dad loves him and how special he is and he seems to have really gotten that. We seemed to have the best possible outcome with this. Certainly a lot of thinking went into exactly what I said. Thanks again for your words of encouragement! R
