In our family, we were totally "onboard" with adoption because we wanted a family for our loved ones. Not knowing exactly what to say or ask may have stopped me from speaking up - it is not lack of interest or being oppossed that may prevent speaking up for many family members. Birth is always an emotional time. I would recommend developing a good relationship prior to the adoption process so the family can feel comfortable and the adopting couple can answer clearly and tell the family how they would like things handled. Having read and reread the book mentioned, I can attest to its usefulness - and it could open the door to good discussion. All family members need to be honest, loving and supportive of one another. Thank you for a great post! What a great post. In our family, we were totally “onboard” with adoption because we wanted a family for our loved ones.
