[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son's birth mother is dangerous and the type to kidnap him and go speeding down the highway with police chasing her, creating a Lifetime movie.

We were advised to have a closed adoption and make it difficult for her to find us (him). He knows he's adopted.[/quote]

Sounds like the adoption was shady[/quote]

That's a ridiculous statement. Take my friends' kids: Their birth mother left them at home alone as infants and toddlers to go out and prostitute herself for her drug habit. She ignored a serious health problem the kids both had. The children were removed and placed in a foster family. Some months after the placement, the birth mother went to the foster family's home and threatened the foster mother. The family were so frightened they turned the kids back over to the system. Then there was another family who couldn't deal with the younger child's feeding issues. Then the children came to my friends, who have seen both kids through several surgeries and innumerable therapies. The birth mother was under the eye of the state this whole time, and continued to rack up small criminal charges, even serving a few months in jail, all the while insisting she wanted her kids back. After fostering for (I think) two years, the birth mother's rights were severed, and my friends adopted both children. The birth mother continued to harass them (earning herself another jail sentence) until my friends had to move because of it.

Sound like a "shady" adoption to you? [/quote]
