no, you didn't come across as negative at all, just certain in your beliefs, which is good

this is one of my fears, since the relationship we currently have with dd's bfamilies (esp. bmom's family) is so special and so great. We keep shaking our heads that something so great could happen so quickly. we were all very comfortable together, like family who had been separated for a while but was now back together. We know in our hearts that we can't have that exact same relationship-different people and circumstances, but are hoping for the best. That fear probably came thru in my last post
.
one of the things we've thought about is a foster adoption, but are unsure of how this would play out in our family. Maybe our current family members, including dd's bfamily, will step up to the plate - don't know.
it's awfully complicated, but adoption has benefits
