Comments on: What Not to Say to a Reunited Birth Mom – Pt. 2 http://birthfamily-search.adoptionblogs.com/weblogs/what-not-to-say Information for those searching for those who have been adopted or their birth families.

In fact, I know I did. I don't even know why, but on some level it just made sense to me that the girls will always have two mothers. Heck and let's not leave out their incredible foster mother of four years. That makes three! Still, the more I read and learn about the feelings of the parents that came BEFORE the adopted parents the more clear I am on the matter. Thanks so much for continuing to add to my understanding.

I can't imagine the audacity people have to say it directly to someone who is a birth mom.<br /> <br /> I'm printing this list out and sharing it. I don't know anyone who's in a reunion, but I am in an open adoption and I think much of this applies. <br /> <br /> Thanks for sharing! #7 — Good grief it’s bad enough people tell me that (adoptive mom here) in regards to my son’s biological mom.

I’m printing this list out and sharing it. I don’t know anyone who’s in a reunion, but I am in an open adoption and I think much of this applies.

Thanks for sharing!
