[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] +1[/quote] I'm an adoptive mom and I have no fear that my kids will leave me for their bio families. If they ever choose to seek their bio family, I would be supportive, as that seems to me to be a completely normal desire for many adoptees. I do have a fear that my kids would not be welcomed in a reunion by their bio family, but if their bio parents embrace them, and they love their bio parents, I would be happy for my kids. Just like having a second child did not make me love my first child less, finding and loving their bio parents need not make my kids love me any less. Do not let fear rob you, if this is what you truly want to do. But yes, you have to be open to what your kids will want (probably the same thing you have, if you were not adopted) and not just what you want. That is what parenting is.[/quote]
