Heart Are there any birthmothers who have adopted?

I'm a birthmother of the greatest 13 year old who has ever graced this planet. It was an open adoption because I was adopted at birth in a closed adoption and I think open is better for the child. I have never regretted my choice.

I am now on a waiting list to be an adoptive mother in an open adoption. Is there anyone else in this situation? Are there other birthmothers who have adopted?

Blessed be for all of us who have participated in the joy and struggle of adoption

I am not a firstmother, but there are several women here who are in your position, and even a subforum for it http://forums.adoption.com/birth-par...ptive-parents/

I hope you find your new son or daughter soon
