Wanting Contact
I placed my son for adoption almost 4 years ago, and I kind of feel like I'm in-between phases, so I hope this question ends up in the right place. Mostly, I'd just like to communicate with others that are in or have been in my situation. How do you incorporate the pictures and letters you receive into your child's life? How do you explain to the child you're parenting about the child you placed for adoption? How do you tell the parents of your adopted child about your pregnancy and new family? I know that I am not the only one to pull my life together, find a wonderful husband, and start my family after an adoption. Hearing from those people like me would be really helpful. Thank you.
