Bloggers ...

This is a pretty specific question, but ...

Those of you with placements who have public blogs, do your LO's birth families know of/read it?

Since it's public, do you write assuming that they could find it?

Since Luke's BP's know all of our information, I always assumed she could find it if she wanted to. I guess I never really wrote thinking that she would read it, but I didn't really care if she ever did.

Then she found it.

She was actually happy with everything I wrote and sent me an email telling me that she loved it and the pictures. I was really happy that she found it since she never seemed interested in anything on that level of contact before. It has made me more aware of everything I say on there, but it hasn't stopped me from writing anything.

No.

We have a separate, private blog for DD's BM and her friends/family

My daughter's birthmom knows of my blog and has read it.  Not sure if she reads it on a consistent basis, though, but she probably does.

I didn't tell her about it, but it would be easy for her to find.  I'd be fine with her reading everything on it!

While public, mine isn't searchable (there is an option in both wordpress and blogger that you can uncheck so search engines can't "see" your blog).  I also have any post that is very private, password-protected.

I wouldn't be upset if she came across it somehow though.

I would consider our adoption very closed (their choice). Although I do send letters, and I heard that they were picking them up. Not sure if that's true though. They have enough info that if they wanted to search for something and found it, they could. I'd be fine with that.

Exactly this. I set it up this way just in case they did find it.
