I'm adopted ( an adult, but an adopted adult) and it is so great. SO. GREAT... That you are talking with her about her birthmom and keeping her in your thoughts, etc.<BR/><BR/>That's exactly what my Mom did with me, and I am eternally grateful for her maturity & wisdom in doing so. As a result, I never felt 'weird' about being adopted, I never felt distrusting of my Mom.. And now it gives me the heebiejeebies hearing how some adopted parents handle their children's adoptions ( like it's a state secret. Like it's shameful.)<BR/><BR/>::applause::Muppet Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468526883633775085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11781126.post-41157370359173033772009-02-27T20:58:00.000-05:002009-02-27T20:58:00.000-05:00What a beautiful story and a even more beautiful d...What a beautiful story and a even more beautiful daughter.
