[quote=Anonymous]Mom from DE here. Re the issue of being open - I just want to advocate for not trying to keep the secret. I totally agree about telling your child, without shame but in celebration of how much your child was wanted. Don't tell your child but tell the child he/she can't talk about it - that screams of shame and will diminish any message of love you attach to it. Deal with the family/friends who are going to potentially be an issue LONG before you child is old enough to be aware. Handle it so she/he doesn't have to. I wholeheartedly agree with talking these issues through w/ a counselor who has experience with DE, blended families, adoption, fertility struggles, etc... It was profoundly helpful for me and my husband. Good luck! [/quote]
