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.

I have always spent Christmas with my family. When my parents got divorced I had to divide time between Mom and Dad. When I got married, we made time to spend with in-laws out of state. Now that I am in contact with my bmother and her other children there is another family in the mix. I wasnt expecting to be included in Christmas at her house and the other day I found out she has already bought gifts for all of my family(hubby, 3 kids, and myself) I wasnt planning on seeing them at Christmas but now I will feel guilty if I dont. I just dont have enough time for everyone and she lives 3 1/2 hours away. I dont want to hurt her feelings by not coming but obviously I wont abandon my real family( by real, I mean the ones that raised me).
Has anyone else had trouble balancing all of their new found families? I am very thankful that bmom wants to include me in her family stuff. I know lots of adoptees never have that chance.

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...
Yeah, I feel for you. I keep in contact with both sets of parents. I live with the adoptive ones though. And I have the same struggles. That's why I really don't like holidays because they bring lots of confusion for me. I never know what to do, who to please, who will be more mad, who will hold it against me, etc.
Good luck though. I have no idea what I'm going to do my self.
