Contact with DD's Bio Brothers

[Polliwog]

My (adopted) daughter has twin brothers who were born last fall. They've been in foster care since they were released from the hospital. Since they are in a different county, and I wasn't able to take two preemie babies, they went into a foster home. I haven't been able to get any information until now.

My former adoption worker called me the other day to give me contact information for the baby's foster family. The case plan has been changed to adoption with this family as the adoptive resource. We've exchanged e-mails and pictures and the babies are adorable. We should be getting together in a few weeks. The family has two older daughters (both foster adopted) who are about my kids ages.

I'm so excited. DD (and DS, for that matter) don't really understand that they are adopted but we have lots of contact with DS's bio family. I'm excited to know that DD will able to know her little brothers.

Our family tree is about to get even more branches. School projects are going to be interesting when the kids get older.

How exciting!  I'm sure she won't get it now, but as she gets older I would guess she will treasure having some bio family that she can be in contact with.

Yay!

Congrats! That will be so cool to maintain that contact over the years.  DS has two older biological siblings and we plan to maintain contact with them (although they live halfway across the country).

Hooray!  My daughter has siblings in two different families (one in another country with her birth mom and one adopted by another family here).  The only problem we've run into at school were some children this past year questioning how she could have brothers or sisters if they didn't live with her.  Fortunately, we had a little teacher intervention and the issue calmed down.

I hope this works out long-term as a good connection. My daughter always says she has siblings when asked, even though she's our only child. I think that's great.
