Are bmoms usually okay with this? I thought she should see how happy he is with everyone, but I don't want her to think that she and her family don't matter. Any comments? One other note, we never hear from bmom.

I want him to be a part of the family and have a normal happy life. I think highly of the adoptive family and am glad to see pictures of all of them. Thanks for considering her feelings in this matter.
