[quote=Anonymous]12:43---I'm another adoptive mom and I understand your perspective. Here's my guess----at 18, your DD is still very much in the process of figuring out who she is----and reuniting with birth mom is part of that journey. She will figure out the downsides to birthmom for herself-- which will probably give her a more mature perspective regarding your parenting. Also---did you adopt her as an older child? If so, then she may have some attachment issues that have led her to fantasize about birthmom in an even more unrealistic way---so that more than ever she will need you to be there for her when the illusions of the "perfect mother" are shattered.
