An adoptive mother is facing a difficult decision as the biological mother of her 11-year-old daughter, Erica, seeks contact. The daughter’s biological parents didn’t want the baby, and the adoptive parents offered financial help to Erica in exchange for adopting the child. Now, 11 years later, Erica wants to meet her biological daughter, but the adoptive mother is unsure if it’s the right time, as her daughter is currently in therapy for anxiety.

The adoptive mother is torn between honoring the wishes of her daughter’s biological mother and protecting her daughter’s emotional well-being. With their daughter currently in therapy for anxiety, they fear introducing her to her biological mother now could be confusing and upsetting. The situation has caused tension between the families, with the biological mother’s parents now refusing contact and accusing the adoptive parents of being in the wrong. The adoptive mother is left questioning if she would be the bad person in this situation.
