[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 481268, member: 2315"] I had closed adoptions but when they asked about their birth parents I was truthful. easy child/difficult child was told that he was not allowed to contact them until he was 18 and if at that time he wanted to I would help him. By 18 he had changed his mind and was no longer interested in making contact. difficult child was told that his parents were limited in their abilities and could not raise him. When he was an adult and acting out i told him the entire truth about them because it was not a pretty picture and he needed to know. I told them with love and alot of compassion for both them and thier parents. I think when the situation is not a good one they should be told only what they can handle at any given time. [/QUOTE]
