[quote=Anonymous]I think the above is a little harsh. Yes, "insulted" was a poor choice of words. But my guess is that what is driving adoptive mom is fear. Fear that DD will decide to reject her in favor of birth mom and that she will lose the DD that she raised. Fears that are likely irrational but still there. This is why an adoption competent therapist is important for both child and adoptive parent in terms of navigating an emotionally fraught journeyin a way that enables all parties to be respectful and supportive of the other's feelings. I felt so sad reading the post above from the adoptee who is now estranged from her adoptive mom due to the mom's lack of support during her search to meet her birth mom---a birth mom who did not want further contact. That's the worst of all worlds. [/quote]
