[quote=Anonymous]I tell my kids the truth about the reasons their birth moms could not parent them. Birth mom #1 was parenting one child and was homeless at the time of his birth. CPS had given her a warning that she might lose custody of the first child if she kept him. And birth mom's grandma had threatened to cut off financial support if she parented him. Everyone knew birth mom should not parent a child at that time. But then she had another child directly after my son and this is very confusing. Nothing will make sense to him and he is now 12. He can see for himself that they live in poverty and the other two kids are abused and rapidly becoming obese. This is all very painful and he goes to a therapist to deal with it.

Birth mom #2 had lost custody of all three of her other children at the time of DD's birth but later she was able to get two of the kids back and then have another child. Also difficult to understand but so far so good with my DD who is 8 years old. She seems pretty content so far. [/quote]
