I am an adoptive mom and my advice is that you should parent as long as you want to after you have your baby. Will this make the adoptive parents anxious and worried? yes, it will, but that isn't your problem. I do think it would be very beneficial for you and them for you to tell them this now, so that this is known and there are not bad feelings about it later after you have the baby. They...

I think our worst was with our former placement. Visit transporter picked up FD at daycare and took her to visit. Mom complained that FD was not wearing a jacket (it was May, in California, easily in the 70's if not 80's most days). FD's CW called and yelled at me about this. I asked how I was supposed to ensure she is wearing a jacket (on a hot day) when she is picked up from daycare? She...
