Lurker =)

Hey ladies!

I don't think I'm quite ready to be part of a board like this, but I come by sometimes when I'm thinking of my son and missing him.  He was born in 2007 and I chose a semi-open adoption and placed him with the some of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life!  I was 18 and in an abusive relationship at the time that no child should have to grow up in, so adoption just seemed like the only way to do right by him.  

 There are times when I want to know something and am too intimidated to ask his parents myself and come here to see if that sort of thing has been talked about.  Sometimes I'll come by and read a post that makes me realize I probably should change the way I do one thing or another, etc.  I guess what I'm trying to say is I really appreciate all of the advice and thoughts from all of you and it actually has helped a lot in my own adoption journey.

As you can see from the ticker, I've got one of my own on the way now and this time with the kindest husband God could have ever blessed me with.  Funny how life happens..  P.S. To everyone who contributed to the "where were you when you got the call" post -- it had me in tears!!  I purposely asked for the agency to call DS's parents before Father's Day so they could enjoy the day.  I think of them every Father's Day and is actually the reason I was lurking today.

God bless y'all and thanks for letting me come around occasionally..

Welcome   And no need to be a lurker!    We are gentle souls.

As for asking your son's parents info, I'd welcome it if I were on their end.  It's so nice to be able to confidently tell your adopted child how much his birth mom cares for him and wants the best.
