[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 12yo adopted child. On paper it’s an open adoption. However when we tried reaching out via the agency when DD was a baby bio mom was “ not ready” Around age 4 we stopped trying. Through sleuthing we ( adoptive parents) so know where bio mom lives and it’s about 30 mins from us. Right now DD is no interested in meeting bio family and I’m mostly thankful. If she wants to later we will support but probably use a therapist for guidance. [/quote] It's completely understandable that a newly grieving. Other would be too pained by contact, but it is astonishing that you gave up trying after just 4 years. How hard would it be just to send annual updates? Why are you "thankful" that your child is completely cut off from her family of origin??? [/quote] Birthmom wants no contact. If she does she tells the agency and they reach out[/quote]
