[QUOTE="DDD, post: 243603, member: 35"] Although I have no adoption experience I really do understand your mixed feelings. In a million years I would never have guessed that my son would marry a girl who would aim to separate him from his family...and succeed, for the most part. That loss, like the loss of your son, makes you aware of how vulnerable parents can be. It is scarey. Likewise...I have been "Mama" to easy child/difficult child for almost 22 years. When his bioMom asserts "I am his [I]real Mother![/I]"...I just cringe. So, I think the only healthy way to face these separation fears is to accept that you have decades of daily loving history that can not be taken away. Cherish that history and know that, God forbid, if your child opts to explore other family options in depth [B]your love[/B] is deeply embedded in her heart and soul. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
