I'm working on the LifeBook for our child (due in October). At this time, the emom has said that she doesn't want to have contact after the delivery. Although I hope that changes, we have agreed to honor her wishes.

So, I'm trying to collect information about her now...to include in the LifeBook, as well as for later (if she decides she wants open contact). I will put the non-identifyig information in the LifeBook and keep the identifying information in a safe place for "the day" (if it comes).

So...my question is really this. What kinds of questions are you getting from your older children about the bmom? I'm going to put together a section that tells all about the area he/she is born in, the one picture we have of her (said we can share), and then little details as I catch them (ex: she loves art and loves to paint).

She is willing to contribute to the LifeBook that we put together. I am trying to think up a list of questions that I can send her to answer that I can include that will provide information for the child in years to come.

I'm thinking in the beginning, simple things like: What was your favorite toy when you were growing up? What did you want to be when you grew up? What was the pregnancy like? etc

Any questions that you get a lot or that you think would be helpful to cover now while I can?

Thanks!
