But, since his amom had told him that I simply gave birth to him and handed him over, instead of letting him know that his was an open adoption she closed, she would tell him such a thing never happened and that he had never seen me after he was born.<br /><br />But he had, and the memory he carried for so long could have only been one that happened back when he was only six months old and his amom had brought him to my high school so he could be there while I talked with our school's "peer counselors" about my experience It wasn't in a gymnasium, but it was in a large meeting room and I held him in my arms while I talked to them.<br /><br />It doesn't seem possible a six month old baby could ever retain any memories from that time of their life, but like you, I don't think it's coincidence, or a fluke. I believe there was a reason he held that memory for so long.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00274531213087340905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953239816472596984.post-33639008737385539732010-09-15T12:57:56.595-05:002010-09-15T12:57:56.595-05:00Thanks for sharing.Thanks for sharing.birthmothertalkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690158739622745922noreply@blogger.com
