Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. Whether you are looking to adopt, putting your child up for adoption, parenting an adopted child, or just thinking about it, this is the place to discuss.

Just wanted to see what experiences other have had with the birthdays of their adoptive children.
My daughter turned 2 several weeks ago and her birthmom called the day before (we have a pretty open adoption so this wasn't unusual).
She asked us to call her the next day. She ended up calling us instead, even though she had asked us to call her. There were still people at the house when she called, so we called her back, but she was out. She called us back that night.
I am not really sure why this 'phone tag' bothered me so much - I know she wants to be part of our daughter's life and I am fine with that. I know phone calls can be hard at times for her (and me both) and we have a great respect for each other. We are both working hard at keeping an open relationship with my daughter's well-being and overall development in mind.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Soory...as I read your post..all these feelings came...do you ever feel this way?
