DS has a cousin, I, through his Fmom, F, who has recently expressed anger and pain at DS’s adoption. He is very close to his aunt, and she is helping him as she can (within the constraints of her parents ideas of appropriateness), but is there anything I can do, as DS’s adoptive mom, to help reassure him he is still family to DS? We have included him in visits, but do you think it would help to, I don’t know, correspond directly with him or something? He’s 7, and has his own unusual family situation to deal with…which may be a part of his feelings regarding DS’s adoption.
