[QUOTE="Zoobiechick, post: 440862, member: 12245"] Thanks for the input. I've been on adoption.com quite a few times, but never actively involved in any forums. My gut feeling from the moment I learned of BMs death is that my daughter would benefit from meeting the people who referred to themselves in letters back when we corresponded (the first 5 years) as her "silent" family. And goodness knows, I have let go of any fantasy I had that we would be all she needed. Most of what I've read about these situations is that openness is healthy for all involved, but I know there are exceptions. Good advice--we will proceed with caution, work with the social worker who worked with her BM, and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
