A Question for First Moms and Adoptive Parents: If I Were a Magic Genie, What Ten Questions Would You Ask about Adoption?

I have spent the past three years obsessively reading, writing, and talking about being an adoptee. I want to spent the next three years, perhaps, learning more about what it’s like to be a first mother and an adoptive parent.

I have a request: would you please email me (anneheffron@gmail.com) the top ten (or however many—one is also great) questions you would ask about adoption and adoptees if you knew I was some sort of magical adoption genie and had all the answers.

I don’t think one side of the adoption triad can heal alone. I think it’s a group thing.

So I’m in. I want to figure this stuff out so fewer people suffer unnecessarily and so there is more laughter at the dinner table.
