AMom's Fears of Reunion

I saw a post regarding the fears and/or insecurities that amoms may have regarding reunion. Does anyone recall that thread, or have ideas about the subject?

I am sad about amom's insecurities.

It has and will hinder my bio-daughters contact with me. I have no plans on taking over, I don't want to parent. I just want to add to the love she gets. If we were able to freely contact, without guilt from amom, we wouldn't have to wonder about each other. It's sad too because the amom and me had such a unique bond when I was pregnant. I thought we really connected. Now she is scared of me and my bio-daughter having contact.
Blessings

I don't recall the thread, but my thought is, it's fairly common for aparents to have concerns, even if they are supportive of reunion. I'm not an adoptive parent, but I think one of the big concerns is that their child will be hurt, and also feel like they will be replaced somehow.

I am not yet in reunion, but have a semi-open adoption, so my child's parents have known all about me and we've communicated for many years. I think if my son ever wants to meet, they would be supportive, but I'm sure it will still stir up some unexpected emotions, too. Reunions tend to do that in all triad members!
