A local mum I see at groups is adopting her dc who is a similar age to my ds. She's lovely, as is her dc, and the little ones get on well. We're likely to meet at the school gate etc as it's not that big a community, and I'd like to think the kids could be friends.
Trouble is, I'm worried I'm going to put my foot in it and inadvertently upset her. With the other mums I know, we compliment each other on baby weight lost, how's breastfeeding going (if relevant) etc which is obviously not the right topic of conversation in this instance. I've said that her bond with her dc is obviously very strong, and how well her dc is progressing generally. Is there anything I shouldn't say? Or stuff I can mention that will build her confidence? I have very very little experience of the whole thing, and it seems to be a very hard decision to make so I've got a lot of respect for her for choosing that path haven't met her oh!)
Please may I have some advice? Thank you
