[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this makes me sad. I want to adopt but one of my biggest fears is my "baby" leaving me for the bio family [/quote]

I hate to say it, but you don’t seem like a good candidate for adoption. Most adopted kids will want to find their birth family. If you’re feeling this much angst about a hypothetical child, I can only imagine how would you act with a child you knew and loved. Bad idea. You’d be setting everyone up to fail. [/quote]

[b]I think you’re being a bit harsh towards her (understatement). PP, your baby will leave you for adulthood and the world, but even if they contact their birth parents they can never leave you for them. You are their mother, that doesn’t change.[[/b]/quote]

Don't be obtuse.  Obviously a child could become closer to their birth family and choose to spend more time with them than their adoptive family.  This is a legitimate fear. [/quote]

Are you worried that your biological children will become closer to another family and spend more time with them? It could happen, I suppose. But our children our OUR children, no less so if they were adopted. It’s appalling, although I suppose not surprising, that there are still people in this country who think they aren’t.[/quote]
