Gorgeous boy is 6.5. Twice now he's said he wants to meet BM, as he's worried that people are being mean to her and that she has no-one to cuddle her. How do I explain that he has to wait until he's an adult because he needs to be able to cope with her possibly rejecting him? I obviously don't want him to know yet that she may reject him, but I'm wary of him building up fantasy parents.
We adopted from Singapore where adoptees have no right to trace birth parents, but we have a 2007 address. Given that BM may have kept it a secret, she may well be shocked/rejecting when he turns up in 10 years time.
