I only have one picture of my birth daughter out in the house. It is in our room. Most of my good friends know it is her. The only ones who don't know about her are my husband's family. His oldest sister knows, but not his parents. They are VERY old-fashioned too. When his mom saw the photo, she asked me who it was, and I told her it was my God-Daughter. I felt bad lying, but since R is wearing a christening gown in the picture, it was the easiest way around it.
THis is going to sound so pathetic but I used to keep her picture hanging in the hall but framed behind my brother. I knew she was there and that was enough at that time. I was still hiding my past from friends. When I finally started to open up, putting my baby girl in a beautiful frame of her own was a huge relief.
Hope that helped.
