I am so excited for them as they have waited for years to have her.

I will tell them about MN and this new topic.

My children are feeling sad for the biological mother and thinking that the baby must be missing her. I am very touched by their compassion and trying not to cry.

I am just SO, SO thrilled for our friends because she has lupus and was advised not to have children.

tell me to mind my own business but my friend adopted a child and has to be very careful about details about him appearing anywhere just in case. Are you sure you want to post details like that on the internet? Tell me to sod off if you want.

PandaG · 05/06/2006 22:53

Dont worry. The chances of someone connected to the birth mother reading it tonight is virtually nil.
