I asked my daughter if she had made a decision regarding our last names after the adoption (we both have my maiden name) and she wants to have both last names! I told her that would make her daddy very happy. He was disappointed that I didn't take his last name when we married, but this is kind of what I had in mind then. Somehow...I still am not entirely sure how...our conversation got around to the subject of Rick. She asked if she had ever met him, and she said "I don't miss him, though, because I never even saw him since I was a baby". I told her that I had seen him yesterday and told him what a cool kid she was- she smiled and said "I want to go there!" I told her that he would probably like to read a letter from her, and if she wrote one I'd give it to him. She said "yeah, not right now, but another time I will write a letter to my SPECIAL FRIEND Rick"
Everything will turn out just fine, I'm sure of it.
She is so amazing!
