The holiday season is an important time to let your child's birth mother know you are thinking about her. This year, even families that generally visit in person may be sending letters & photos (or emailing or Zooming). So, what to share? Don't hold back on the details; your child’s birth mother will want to hear about who he or she is now — personality, interests, and accomplishments.
OLDER CHILD ADOPTION
“ I did not expect my sons, nine and ten years old at the time of their adoptions, to accept me automatically as their father. But I wasn't ready for my older son's intense resistance as he clawed his way through the process — his delivery into a new family. ”
Q: "Our three-year-old has been saying she wants a 'baby brother.' Although we had originally envisioned more than one child, we cannot afford to adopt again. Plus, we are content with our little family. At the same time, I worry about depriving our child of a sibling."
