Yes, I was adopted at birth. Closed adoption. I have been reunited with all of my biological family.
Yes, it is good that your daughter has connection to her bio siblings. I’m sure it helps her develop a sense of connectedness. People who are raised with biological family really have trouble comprehending it. Of course you are her parent, that is very important, and the fact that you are honest with her is crucial, but don’t understand estimate the role of genetics and biology.
Thanks for saying that. I hope we will always have our deep mother daughter connection that seems to transcend the genetic differences. I really love input from other people who were adopted, to help me understand.
One advantage she has psychologically is that no one ever gave her up. Her sperm donor never met her egg donor. They both have huge happy (as far as I know) families. I hope that helps.
It’s been wonderful and I hope to not underestimate genetics, but to gain real perspective on it. Thanks so much.
