Hi all, I'm a birthmom to a 2 year old. We have an open adoption. I was wondering, for those of you in an open adoption, how do you feel about your adoption situation? I've been trying to picture my relationship with my dd in the future. Is it easier for you to have your birthfamily in your life? Or is it harder? If you read this, thank you for your time. -Amy

This was, perhaps, the reason I joined this site. To reply to this post.
I'm 16; I grew up with a closed adoption. When I turned 14(?) I demanded more info, and by three or four months after my 15th birthday, I finally had a letter waiting for me from my bmom. She has a couple kids, and none of them know the relationship between us yet (they're far too young). That being said, it's far much easier to have my bmom in my life. When I looked in the mirror before, I didn't know who I looked like. I didn't have any medical history. I didn't have anything. Now I'm a lot more confident with everything.
It's SO worth it. :-)
I hope this helped.
