Your experiences...

Everyone's stories are amazingly full of strength, love, pain, and courage. The support everyone offers each other is beautiful. Thank you. I'm doing research on the discussions between birth parents and adoptive parents in reaching open or semi open adoptions. I can only imagine it takes a great deal of trust in the other set of parents and that the ultimate goal is the well-being of the child. Beyond this, what were your experiences? How did you communicate? What were your specific concerns. I remember one post (can't find it) that mentioned the adoptive parents specified they only wanted a certain gender. Any help is greatly appreciated. Again, I am amazed at everyone's strength. You are amazing women and my heart goes out to you. <3
