I couldn't really think of anything for this. It was interesting what thanksgiving mom wrote, though, because our DS's bmom has always kept the difficult bits of her experience from us, I think partly because she wanted us to enjoy being parents without feeling her sorrow (she'd already raised a son so I think she kind of knew what we had to enjoy!). But it was really obvious that she was suffering and I felt sad that she didn't feel able share that with us so we could acknowledge it, if that makes sense. But I wouldn't want her to have to do anything for us that would make it more difficult for her.

I know I already commented, but I thought of something. I know, I shouldn't have been in such a rush to comment. I should have put more thought into it.
Anyways, the thing I currently wouldn't want my sons adoptive parents to really really know about would be that I do share some pictures of him on a private forum(for first/birthmoms only)and that I share about my frustrations about them there as well.
I doubt they would even listen if I tried to tell them, they have a habit of ignoring me when I talk. Many people do, it's not unusual for me...
They didn't have a good reaction to the blog I had, so I highly doubt they would like that I vent about them to dozens of strangers, even though I never ever would really idenitfy them(ie giving real names..etc..big no-no)
I think that they would think badly of me commenting here too, or even just reading about adoption.
