At least not anything major that is. I had an interview this week with a very well known adoption agency to join an adoptive parents support group. The group is currently full, only 11 members at a time, so I am wait-listed. In the course of the conversation with the nice lady she asked what it was I particularly wanted to get out of being part of an adoptive parents support group. My response was something to the effect, "i want to meet other families similar to ours and hear how they have processed or are processing being a family. Specifically around talking to your child about adoption, what does the birthmom relationship resemble in their family after the finalization and as time goes on and so on and so on. The nice lady suggested I/my husband and I perhaps have a few private sessions with one of the counselors on staff as a way of heping us decide what are the right answers for us as a family.
I, always one to seek advice and then decide what is best for me, thought this was a grand idea, but said right then and there to the nice lady, I don't know that my husband will go right away if at all. Well, my guy, always reticent, to put it mildly, to seek advice, said, "great idea I will definitely go."
Go figure.
