[quote=Anonymous]We adopted privately but we distantly know the bio grandparents, so it was quick and painless -- couple of lawyers and a court date and done. Bio grandparents are Irish heritage, strict Catholics, old school.  Their 19 year old  daughter got pregnant by a Middle Eastern Muslim boyfriend.  Boyfriend disappeared.  Grandparents said no way -- don't ask for help from us.  No abortion due to Catholicism.

DH and I did a semi-open adoption -- we send photos to bio mom on our daughters birthday.  DD is now 10 and we will introduce  DD to her bio mom at 18 if both agree.  Birth mom keeping her distance; has never asked us for anything.  I honor her choice that made our lives so happy (and believe me I am totally pro-choice and if I had been a pregnant teen I would have terminated immediately). Bio grandparents show no interest / interference.

DH and I  both 38 at time of adoption. We  had been thinking of kids after 6 years of marriage; this was so timely we took it as a sign.  We were right. [/quote]
