[quote=Anonymous]Long story short. Adopted as an infant in a forced adoption. Adoptive family was complicated but I was very close to my mother, who is now dead. Met my biofamily in middle age. Relationships are nice and generally pretty comfortable with most of them. Bioparent - not getting any younger - really wants to have Christmas with all the kids and grandkids, including me. My adoptive mom would not have gone for that when she was alive as Christmas was her favorite holiday. Plus, one of my bioparent's other adult children is actively hostile towards me for very stupid reasons (e.g., hurt pride). Bioparent thinks they can force the issue, I suspect, and says they are willing to exclude that child if it means they get one Christmas with me and everyone else before they die. Adoptees, what would you do? Anyone with experience navigating this minefield?[/quote]
