During a visit to OP’s apartment, her mother-in-law discovered an envelope from California adorned with bright kids’ stickers. Intrigued, she inquired about the sender, asking OP to share a personal truth. OP explained that she got pregnant at 15 and had a baby boy at 16, whom she chose to give up for adoption. The adoptive mother regularly sent updates every six months, including drawings and stickers from their now 6-year-old child.
The mother-in-law’s reaction was unexpected and emotional. She tearfully suggested that OP’s fiancé should consider finding a partner who hasn’t had a child before, believing the experience wouldn’t be as “special” for OP, having previously given birth. Despite her reservations, OP’s fiancé, who is aware of her past, remains committed to the upcoming May wedding. Navigating this sensitive situation, OP recognizes the importance of communicating with the fiancé’s parents compassionately, reassuring them of their dedication to the future family, and fostering understanding within the extended family.
