[quote=Anonymous]I'm reading this thread with a lot of interest.  My husband and I adopted an amazing baby boy last year.  We tried to become parents through various means and none of it worked.  We went through an adoption agency and our birthmother chose us to be her son's parents.  We have an open adoption and we know quite a bit about her.  I keep in one sided contact with her. That is I have a secret FB page where I post pictures or videos for her and she comments but I don't reply.  I also send letters with pictures a couple of times a year.  Without getting into her story, my son has 3 half siblings.  Our BM has custody of her 3 kids.

Right now my son is too young to understand that he is adopted but I don't plan on making it a secret; however, I do struggle with the right approach to discussions.  I wonder how he will feel about knowing that we keep in contact with her and that he has siblings.  We are open to having our son meet her and his siblings sometime in the future.  [/quote]
