The trend of bribing passengers not to hate your
children started a few years back, when a Reddit
thread exploded with praise for parents of 14 - week - old twins on their
first flight.
Back during Adoption School, when being a mom was just a theoretical concept (by the way, our agency was nothing like what's been described in this
thread — it told us the benefits of open adoption to the
child and said we would eventually form our own relationships with
first parents, which it then left us to do), I did not embrace OA because the highly - paid social workers said it was proving to be better for the
child than shame and secrecy.
