A tale of 2 mothers: open adoption

MayDayGirl · August 2012

I wanted to share a cute little story about Aida, me, and her birth mom.
I sent J a video of Aida throwing a fit. and this is the conversation that followed:

j: what she whinin 4?

me: who knows, she gets angry easily lol
j: oops, she got that from me
me: thanks a lot!
j: sorry!
me: lol
j: I should tell you though, I was angry a lot when I was pregnant with her
me: j! that isnt why! Its aidas personality, she is short fused. Its something we will have to help her deal with as she gets older. You shouldnt feel bad. I use to be the same way.
j: oh well, you the mama! she gets it from you!
I dont know why but this story makes me so happy. 2 mamas chatting over where the daughter gets her traits from. It could be either of us, it could be from both of us I love open adoption.

and I LOVE that to J, I am Aidas mom.
