I often feel sorry for the children I parent because I made a decision that impacts their relationship with their biological sister. And it seems that they are hurt by the fact that they cannot have access to her (which I do expect to change as time heals everyone's hearts). What is your joint plan for the relationship with Ty and the other children?<br /><br />If you could share a piece of wisdom about adoption to potenetial or current adoptive parents and/or birth mothers what would it be?LisaAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436140358037471855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-35397666649693553852011-05-14T21:42:14.015-04:002011-05-14T21:42:14.015-04:00CO-Rebekah - Is there anything you regret about ad...CO-Rebekah - Is there anything you regret about adoption? (not the actual adoption itself, but would you have spent more one-on-one time with Ty at the hospital, would you have taken more pictures, etc)? <br /><br />MI-Rebekah - Do you worry about Tyrus wanting to leave and be with his birthmom someday? It's not often that it happens I'm sure, but I'm curious if it has ever crossed your mind or how you would handle it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-19278077066310338352011-05-12T15:04:39.774-04:002011-05-12T15:04:39.774-04:00Hi Ladies,
I cannot tell you how wonderful it is ...Hi Ladies,<br /><br />I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to see the relationship that you have and how comfortable lil Ty is with it all. Kuddos to all of you! We also have a good relationship with our son's birth mommy, but my question (to both of you)is about the birth father. Does Ty know him or about him? Do you have a close relationship with him too? That relationship is very different for us, and I was wondering how it worked for y'all. Thank you for being so open and willing to share!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-39596992016767903532011-05-11T10:06:37.751-04:002011-05-11T10:06:37.751-04:00You both are giving Tyrus all the love and support...You both are giving Tyrus all the love and support he needs in life, what an amazing bond you have together and for your son. Here is my question and I mean it with the most respect a woman can give. <br /><br />MI-Rebekah do you vision the role CO-Rebekah has with Tyrus as that of another/distant Mother figure or that of an Aunt? Does Tyrus shy away from CO-Rebekah out of tiddler behavior (simiar to stranger anxiety). How do you both handle that?<br /><br />I think that Tyrus is one lucky little boy with two very sensible Mom's... He's adorable.<br /><br />MI-Rebekah, How does Ben feel about seeing CO-Rebekah?Momma and Her Doodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01259361926569391453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-43168143318346481582011-05-10T16:59:04.751-04:002011-05-10T16:59:04.751-04:00Have you thought of using a surrogate before for a...Have you thought of using a surrogate before for a pregnancy?

My question is for Co-Rebekah:...What a sweet video!<br />My question is for Co-Rebekah:<br /><br />We have an open relationship with our baby girl's birthmom. I can't help but wonder, as our daughter blossoms into an amazing little person, whether it is becoming more difficult for birthmom to see her child with another family. I'm interested in your perspective - do you find the visits with Ty get easier, or more difficult, each time? <br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-49110033463501932172011-05-09T11:29:35.258-04:002011-05-09T11:29:35.258-04:00Too cute!

First happy mother's day t...Hi beautiful Mama! <br />First happy mother's day to you and miss rebekah... it is such a special day... i think of the question that Brooke ask and was wondering the same thing...for me (infertility for 9 years and then we adopted Kellen when he was 18 months old)... for me yesterday was a day of being 'engulfed' in my grief and joy... all at once. Like you and Ben we want lots and lots and lots of children (Marcel settled on 5 kiddies), and are currently waiting to adopt again... the grief for not just being able to get pregnant... and the joy of Kellen...the grief for the loss of my mom and the joy of Kellen... the joy making me feel totally overjoyed...but still in my heart.... well... i guess you know what i mean... <br /><br />Rebekah (MI) YOU inspire me...your openess, your love your being.... you inspire me to have the same open relationship with kellen and his birthmom.... i think i'm too scared to let kellen call her 'mommy', so we decided on her name, Ricky, which he knows and he has spoken to her and talks about her... i think when your husband is 100% with you on open adoption, it is easier to call her mommy and let her visit, but if not, you have to do what works for you.... <br /><br />thank you for inspiring others... and Ty is adorable! xx LinniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-2231824594854953572011-05-08T23:27:21.183-04:002011-05-08T23:27:21.183-04:00Ooo!

I want to watch it though because I love to see how you talked with him about his 2 mommies! My day is coming, and I already tell Jackson about T, his first mom. Anyway, I'm so excited for Rebekah to come and see you! I know what you mean about her seeing you and Ty in your environment - Jackson's first mom will be visiting us for the first time in a month or so and I am SO excited for her to see us, see Jax, in his home. Anyway, I don't have any questions, but can't wait to see the video:).Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064955747540959696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-36167398270681842992011-05-08T23:00:14.410-04:002011-05-08T23:00:14.410-04:00Hey Rebekah (MI)!
I have a question for CO Rebeka...Hey Rebekah (MI)!<br /><br />I have a question for CO Rebekah. I was wondering if you could share what you felt Ben and Rebekah did well in the relationship while you were pregnant with Tyrus. <br /><br />As my husband and I think about the potential relationship we could have with first parents, we want to mirror Jesus as much as possible. As a BM, can you think of practical ways an AP can do this? <br /><br />Thanks, guys!

Been following for your blog since before Ty...Hi... Been following for your blog since before Ty came along. I'd like to know how you, MI Rebekah, you feel on Mothers Day. Specifically, do you still battle plain from the year of infertility? I know Ty has brought much peace an love, but I was just curious if you're still haunted on this day by feelings from previous years.<br /><br />I know for me, today is hard. 10 years of infertility and 3 losses. I've seen my share of sad Mothers Days. Now, I have 2 daughters, both of which were surprise pregnancies after all those years. I am blessed beyond measure and eternally grateful for them. And it may sound silly, but Mothers day especially always bring up memories of previous days when I spent feeling so isolated and forgotten. Now, I'm not saying at all that today is not a happy day for me. If course it is! But sometimes I am surprised and how the hurt resurfaces on this day and it takes my breath away. But my girls do so even more and above all I'm THANKFUL for them.Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363273108970062574noreply@blogger.com
