We're heading to Phoenix this weekend to meet the prospective birth parents! The birth mother is ready to make the adoption plan official, however the birth father is concerned that the baby will be made fun of (when he/she is older) due to not looking like Adam & I (with our blonde hair). Little does he know that I'm currently a burgundy/brunette (but will soon find out)! Our social worker has explained to him that it's "culturally acceptable" to not look like your parents! Adam & I decided early on that we're going to be 100% open and honest with our adopted child and let them know that we're not his/her biological parents. With this being an open adoption the child will
always know who their biological parents are. Our social worker and adoption agency think that the birth father may feel comfortable with us once they meet us.
Phoenix or bust!!!
