I had a privilege to talk openly and candidly with my youngest son’s birth mother about our open adoption relationship.

We sat down together and answered questions posed by The R House readers. I will always cherish what we discussed.

Open adoption is one of my favorite things about my life.

I love the relationship that I have with each of my kids’ birth moms and, more importantly, I love that each of my kids have a close relationship with their birth moms.

When my youngest son’s birth mother, Joniece came to visit last week, we spoke at length about our relationship and what makes it tick. Then, we decided to answer questions on video from The R House Facebook Community about our relationshop. Lots of fun!

 

What is your biggest compromise in your open adoption?

 

 

Do you get jealous of one another in your open adoption?

Open adoption is a subject that I think baffles a lot of people.

It, however, is one of my favorite things to talk about.

In a series of mini-videos, my youngest son’s birth mother, Joniece and I hope to share with you what open adoption can look like.

We will be talking about everything from what makes our relationship work to things that we’ve tried that didn’t work to jealousy to regret. We hope that you will join us this week as the mini-videos post!
