[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still in shock, a bit, that I've found my birth mother!  She lives overseas and when we meet for the first time, I'd like to bring a gift.  Gift-giving is big in her culture and I know other adoptees who've run afoul of customs with their gifts.  Any ideas for an appropriate gift? The reason I was placed for adoption was poverty and while I've been told she's ok now, I want to make sure whatever I give is not too much but not too little.  I'm definitely going to make a photo album for her, but am looking for other things as well.  I also have three brothers and am told at least three nieces and nephews- what for them as well?[/quote]

Please don't romanticize this too much -- it scares people from wanting to adopt.[/quote]

Sometimes it can be very very good.  We are amazingly close to our child's birth mom's family.  They are amazing people who love us as well as our son.  They are another set of parents to us and grandparents to our child.  Our child doesn't have a clue as this is his normal that it isn't normal.  (now his birthfather's family ... well... if we never see or hear from them again it will be too soon).[/quote]
