Open adoption reunion: My first time with our daughter's birth parents since the hospital
Salon“Rock Needs River” is the story about becoming a mother through adoption, and then our relationship with my daughter’s birth parents after they became homeless in 2013 and stayed with us for a while. We saw them all enter the park, and outwardly, not a thing had changed since the first time we’d met, except that Grace was no longer inside Bridgett. We discussed a book Bill wrote, called The Final Addendum, described, in part, as: “The approach to the creation event with mathematical correlations in Bible observations, based on its accurate connection with real historical events.” I imagined Bill’s brain, in gear like a Rube Goldberg machine, constantly flooded by a tidal wave of thoughts. My then-husband, Grace’s daddy, Peter, not a great one for ice breaking in the most normal of situations, wore a pained expression and kept the conversation mostly about music and his time as a rocker.
