Then I learned that the baby was going to be adopted, in an open adoption. Uh huh. This kid was going to be brought up by a family that I didn't know, were of a different religion, and, lived on the other end of the continent. It wasn't a good intro to open adoption.<br /><br />I met the adoptive parents and their 4 y.o. son. I was charmed. But still, I had reservations. How could I be a grandmother when all the milestones I had fantasized about were going by the wayside. I was going to be a grandmother, but not a grandmother.<br /><br />Fast forward 6 months: I am compiling a brag book of both boys and have shown their pictures to relative strangers. They are handsome, smart, and talented, of course. I revel in each new accomplishment, which their parents inform me of. I am a "bubbe" (Yiddish for grandmother) in the fullest, and richest, sense of the word. [I haven't had the opportunity to spoil them yet but that is coming...] And as an added bonus, my son has come to see me as knowledgeable. Whereas once I didn't know which end was up, now I am a fount of wisdom.<br /><br />Bravo, open adoption. I am a believer (probably trademarked by the Monkees, which gives you an idea of my age)!butmomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-74417644782938395992012-03-14T14:32:01.994-07:002012-03-14T14:32:01.994-07:00I'm up! http://susiebook.wordpress.com/2012/03...I'm up! http://susiebook.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/open-adoption-roundtable-35/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-54867012828272238792012-03-14T13:57:09.445-07:002012-03-14T13:57:09.445-07:00Here's mine.
