I'm a birthmother in open adoption. My birthson is 8 years old now & he calls me by my first name. He knows the whole story. He knows that I'm his birthmother, he came out of my belly & I chose his parents for him. There are no secrets between us. He sees the love & trust his parents & I have formed over the years. They ARE mom & dad. We keep in touch by, cards, letters, pictures, videos & we have visits twice a year which started out on neutral ground like at the zoo, a park, or a church playground. His parents are always there when we have visits. It has been a very positive healthy relationship that I want to share with you. In my blogs I will bring up issuse that I have lived through & read about. I will post poetry written by myself & others from all corners of the adoption triad, in the open & closed adoption system that cover various time frames. Please feel free to comment any time you'd like.Much love,Sheree
