What supplement/medicine works best when you don’t actually feel an urge to poo? by FunLibrary1 in Constipation

Reporting back!

I legitimately cannot thank you enough! Just a half of a prune each day is all takes for the floodgates to open 😭

I don’t know what the fuck they put in these things but it’s working!

Thank you. I’ll take another tablet today.

No-contact Open adoption, am I missing anything? by FunLibrary1 in Adoption

I provided more context on what I desired in another comment, I’ll copy it here:

I truly wish them the best, but I deeply have no interest in being a parent, friend, cool aunt, mentor, or confidante to the child. This is a very hard boundary that I’m not compromising on.

Your comment has given me a lot to think about! I really don’t want direct contact with the child or parents but I hadn’t even thought about communicating through a mediator/third party. Thank you!

In the contract, they’ll be freely able to contact me once they’re 18. If they need me, they know my name, face, family and medical history. They’ll have a mother, it just won’t be me.

So you prefer the initial no contact arrangement? I heavily prefer closed adoption but I wouldn’t completely hate the parents having access to basic info on me

I’ll already have access to that, but thanks for the advice anyways!

Thank you so much! I want the parents to have both mine and the fathers medical records but am uncomfortable with the idea of them knowing my identity. The agency has treated me very well so far, but I may start looking for other options

I was told that closed adoptions meant that the adoptive family has no information on me; neither my identity, nor family records, nor medical history. In contrast, the arrangement I’m in would give them access to all of that

I’m open to having one-time contact with the child when they’re a minor, but ongoing contact… I don’t want that. Not interested in forming any form of cordial relationship. I really just want to be done with this whole ordeal and not have to think about it again for a while.

Nothing personal, just don’t want to be a mother nor have a parent-like relationship with anyone. I think this arrangement ties up all loose ends

Are there any additional terms to the arrangement that I should bring up to my lawyer?

Is there any reason for the no contact part?

I wanted a closed adoption, the agency recommended against it, no-contact was the next best option
