This is what I mean when I say, at its best, open adoption can have a poignant,
counter-cultural beauty. It continues to be encouraging to read of the experience
you all are having.

I can’t help but remember, one of the reasons cited for the r.o. we endured was an
“unnanounced visit.” How uppity of us!

I wish you all the love and joy and messiness of any familial relationship.

Da** you got a smart kid there, Dawn. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. And she’s lucky to have two such wonderful Mommies.

I wish posts like this were normal on adoptive mother blogs. And how you just call Jessica the other
mother I wish that was more frequent too.

I love these kinds of posts, they make me want to be a better person.

Do you or other readers have any suggestions on age-appro books on birthing? Ella’s almost 3 and my sis just had a baby. She’s so into him. But she saw my sis trying to breast-feed (my nephew does like like breasts!) and she said “J’s trying to eat F!” I tried to explain it to her without getting into too much detail, but also without brushing aside her concern. Damn this is hard shit.

BTW - I love how Madison is getting know the whole birth mommmy thing. She’s so cute!
