[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure you want my perspective, as an adoptive mom. I’m also someone whose mother has passed so I know what it feels like not to have the primary caretaker - mom - to share Christmas. If I were gone I would want my children to feel freedom to celebrate however might make them feel good. When my mom was dying, she wanted someone to commit to being our “mother” in her absence (she asked her sister/my aunt, to be our “mom”). I think I would want the same thing for my boys, and who better than the person who carried them. We are not in contact with my kids’ birth parents (their choice) but I love them for bringing their children iinto this world under difficult circumstances  and I hope one day that my kids will meet them and have a special, loving relationship with them. I don’t think I would feel replaced, as hopefully they will know how much I love them too. The more people who love my kids, the better. Good luck, OP, whatever you decide. There is no wrong answer, just whatever you want. You deserve the right to choose.[/quote]
