[quote=Anonymous]"Adoptee/adoptive parent here. Can you give us some examples of what you feel comfortable sharing about your son?" Not the PP that you are asking, but we're very open about adoption. Hard not to be - we are a lesbian couple with kids of other races. Things we talk about include where our kids are from, the fact that they lived in orphanages, the ages that they were when they came to us, our travel to get them (for those that we traveled for), court, things like that. Sometimes it comes up as to how long it took or what the process was like, which I'm quite comfortable talking about. Things I think are off limits: why I choose to adopt, how much adoption costs (except in rare circumstances, such as when I am talking with someone who is trying to figure out if adoption is a possibility for them), and why my kids were in care in the first place.
