Thu, 19 Apr 2007 12:14:35 +0000 http://www.steppingonlegos.com/2007/04/17/dear-annonymous/#comment-2395 I, too, wonder about my son's birth mom. Especially on his birthdays. I wonder if she grieves on those days, I wonder how often she thinks about him, how much she worries about him, and I wish I could let her know he is well. At the same time, I really appreciate the comment anonymous left. I know other adult adoptees who really have no interest in their birth parents because their parents are their parents, bottom line. This is a side of adoption I don't think we hear enough about, and I think it's unfortunate that anonymous feels the need to remain anonymous. What does this say about the on-line adoption community when an adult adoptee, someone who has lived through what we as adoptive parents have so many questions about, doesn't feel free to share her perspective? I hope we hear more from anonymous. I, too, wonder about my son’s birth mom. Especially on his birthdays.

I read your post yesterday and then today I ended up at a domestic birthmom's blog and read this post: http://paragraphein.wordpress.com/2007/04/11/processing/ which generally talks about her loss and her feelings about her child's "matter-of-fact acceptance" of her adoption. and then this post by Third Mom: http://thirdmom.blogspot.com/2007/04/absence-of-grief.html which is her thoughts on Paragraphein's post. All of you have me thinking... not sure what I think yet, but lots of processing going on! :roll: It’s funny how blog topics sometimes coincide… I read your post yesterday and then today I ended up at a domestic birthmom’s blog and read this post: http://paragraphein.wordpress.com/2007/04/11/processing/ which generally talks about her loss and her feelings about her child’s “matter-of-fact acceptance” of her adoption.
