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 gave up my son to a wonderful couple 2 years ago next week. We agreed pictures and letter every 3 months, no visitation. We are in different states. I, as a birthmom, live for these letters and pictures, they are my greatest treasure, as it is all I have of him here with me. I've only been getting those though twice in the last year. I don't want to bug the adoptive parents, they have alot going on. Yet, it may be selfish, but I really feel I am kind of owed these and again - I live for them! Do I politely write and say anything? Or just let it go?

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...

I would write a polite note and just explain that during this holiday season, especially, you would like additional photos if possible.
I would advise against using the word "owed" as this might be taken the wrong way and could have the family become defensive. Just follow your heart and be honest.
Is your relationship with the family thru an agency? If it is you may want their help in wording your letter.
Thats a really tough situation. I can imagine and have seen all that adoptive parents go through, and not having them biologically is awful for so many people. Just make sure she knows how much you love her and that no one will ever ever replace her. Thats why it is so important for the adoptive moms/birth parents to communicate if at all possible before the adoption. Not that you can now - but for anyone reading this. Its always a very delicate thing, I think.
