Adoption
xp 'Ask an adult adoptee'
Don't know if most of you even remember me, but I used to post here a bit. I made this post on MM a while ago. It isn't specifically about closed adoption, but I talk about my views a bit. I thought some of you may be interested in the answers.
If you have any other questions that weren't answered in there, feel free to ask. Best to all of you!

Moving forward with domestic infant adoption!
Home study approved 5/13, now just waiting...
Thanks for posting! We weren't even looking into adoption when I got a text from my cousin that knew we had been struggling with IF asking if we wanted to adopt this baby that was about to be born... well, yeah... of course we did!
It all happened so incredibly fast that I didn't even have time to even consider the future problems/issues that we could possibly have to deal with. I don't anticipate problems really, and always want adoption to be a part of our lives without it consuming our lives either. I want Hadley to know that she was adopted and that God had a special plan/way of getting her to us.
But I have wondered in the last few months about how she will feel knowing that her bmom lives close by, and has custody of her older biological sister but wants no contact with her (of course won't address it that way to LO) etc. I am sure that it will all work out and we'll know what to say as the time arises. But it is nice to hear from adult adoptees who are at peace with their situation.
Adoption is such a beautiful thing!
