You don't have to choose one over the other isn't that what good parenting is about? You'll have to run with the inconsistencies won't you and take the stress out for everyone as best you can.It'll be tough but parenting is, particularly where adopt…
Hello, To make a short story short also, before reading more of this please go and read my page and you will understand we are kinda in same boat. My 12 yr old step daughter's mother had a child that went straight to foster care after birth. Call He…
Why can't you set the schedule? It doesn't have to be overt. Pick a couple days yourself see if they fit into her schedule then go from there. I can't help but wonder if maybe R had some bad or irregular behavior after a visit? I know my kids go off…
The only advice I can give you is this. The adoption I have with my daughter and her family is very open. Check out my page for my blog in a day or so. Having an open adoption has helped solved a lot of problems that adoption creates. There are tons…
What if you made the schedule flexible. Suggesting something like once every 3-4 months you meet. The adoptive mother may be concerned with getting tied down to a rigid schedule. If you make it more loose, with the option to see more often if desire…
Some economic difference perhaps...but not as much as it could be. We both own our homes; theirs is larger but they have a larger family. Both families have both parents working. D is the more likely of the two to have the latest electronic toys but…
Sorry for asking… but is there a significant difference between you and R’s mom “economic” status? Let me explain why I ask this.
I adopted a 5 years old in an open adoption two years ago, she had 2 sisters living with the birthfamily, at the beginn…
I don't think R's mom is going to change her position on "no set schedule". So now I have to figure out what I'm going to do. I have to keep reminding myself that I can't change what she does, only what I do.
If you were me, what would you do?

Kerri said… - I read on your blog what you said about your concerns about this site and the term birth mom. I hope that you don't feel silenced here and continue to share your experiences. One of my daughter's was adopted at age 7 and remembers her family in Ethiopia well. They are part of our daily life in conversation and I'm hoping soon we will have some pictures and a way to establish ongoing contact. Even though her family may have very different views, due to cultural differences if nothing else, I love hearing input from all moms involved in adoption.
