Sheryl, mama i couldn’t be more delighted unless it was my sister or cousin bringing in a new amazing person to get to know. It was such an adventure seeing things though their eyes as you teach them and as they explore and find out things on their own. i would almost have to classify as mystical. you know he looks a great deal like someone who has a birthday the very next day. Has those nice long finger to be able to get all over the guitar, piano what ever makes the hair stand up on the back of his sweet little neck. i know it’s a little early to talk about but we got my sweet little niece a real pro (pink)guitar when she turned 6 we’ll see how it goes. much gratitude, respect,and blesings for hlm and his extended family. all the best

Lea- the fact is that you have to tell your child that they are adopted now-a-days. With stuff like family medical histories and the whole DNA decoding going on it would be hard to keep it a secret from the child for long and it is much better to grow up knowing that you were adopted then to just find out when you turn eighteen or something like that. And as for the fact that closed adoption is detrimental to a childs upbringing, being brought up in a loving home where the two people caring for you wanted you so badly that they sought you out and picked you only makes a child feel special. The whole process can be stressful on a child but it is up to the parents, both sets, to figure out what is best for the child. If the adoptive parents are a stable family the birthmother may choose to keep it closed, so as not to intrude on the family that she helped create.

Sheryl and Wyatt!! What a beautiful family you make!! I’ve been a long-time fan and adore your latest album, Detours. I lose myself in your enchanting music and inspiring lyrics. God bless you both and may you live happily ever after!!

Congrats to Sheryl and her little man! So very cute!

Personally I don’t have it in me to adopt. However, I am a strong proponent of adoption. Does that make any sense? I agree that there should be no distinction between your biological children and your adopted children (and that’s one reason it’s not for me: I wouldn’t be able to do that).

And even if I did adopt, I could not see myself choosing open adoption. That is just not in my personality. There is no “better” choice between open and closed adoptions. When I grew up I knew quite a few friends who were adopted in a closed situation, and they were/are very well adjusted and happy.
