help,i have been trying to get connected with this site on adoption here...there are no instructions or a how to page for beginninger...(threads are what i put in needles and sew with) , am not sure this is going to work.. what i am looking for is support and infromation as the lesbian partner of a birthmom who is in the process reuniting. I am wondering if any other lesbians have had this experience ? what exactly am I called if my partner is called "birthmom"? Is there a specific place i sholud be looking for this information...what forum? can anybody help me as i am trying hard to learn this computer stuff (i have read the rules/agreements/safty info etc.) but more or less don't know a thing about communication via computer let alone using one...perhaps I just should'nt be here at all but am desperate to find info or hear from others. would appreciate any help.Thank you!

Hi Lionna; you'd definitely fall under the [URL="http://forums.adoption.com/birth-family-support/"]Birth Family Support forum[/URL]. I'm not sure what your title would be; we don't even know what to call my Husband who is not my birth daughter's biological father. It's an interesting question at the very least.Welcome to the forums.

The majority of birth kids ( adults reuniting) call their birthmom by their first name, might just go with your first name as well. Mostly in reuniting it is an adult relationship as the adoptee has a "mom and dad" (adopted family) so those names are taken abviously. Some adoptee's do however call birthmom..mom but it isnt all that common from what I know.
thank you Tfor your reply,i only received 3. do you know of any resources specific to lesbians whose partner is a birthmom who is in process of reuniting? i would like to be more supportive of her over all process ,as well as become informed of our process as a couple about to enter into being a 'family'...i've never been a 'parent' before! Thanks again, lionna.
