Years ago, my friend's grandson was married- adoptive, birth family, as well as friends and bride's family gathered to celebrate. My eldest was maybe 4 at the time.
My friend, part of the birth family brought pictures back of the new couple. There was so much the birth family had missed in the development of their birth grandson. Yet, they went and rejoiced in the opportunity to celebrate this new union. When they returned home and shared pictures it was if they'd spent time with their favorite grandchild whom they'd had years of history with. They shared with me how hospitable their son's(grandsons) adoptive mother was to them during their stay. And it left me so perplexed as the birth grandma was my friend who didn't want me to allow my daughter's birthfamily to spend holidays with us.
I remember thinking how amazing this adoptive mom must have been.....I want to be a woman who will rejoice in having my child's other mom be their on the day he/she wed. But, right now, honestly I don't want to share that day with another mother.
