[quote=Anonymous]Your already setting yourself up by engaging in birthmom stereotyping. Exactly why do you think the biological mother would kidnap your prospective adopted child, or engage in an unhealthy relationship after adoption? Even if you have an open adoption, if you harbor these unreasonable fears your child will pick up on them. That will not make the child closer to you, only confused and alienated. After all, any adopted child shares the genetics of the birthparents. I fear this is going to be another adoption in which it is all about the needs of the adoptive parents. I wonder if you will be like my mom who asks me why I want to be with "those people". Those people being my family even though they call them my birthfamily.[/quote]
