Touched me too!!! Excellent post.

And MrsD yes, all relationships are scary. Sometimes open adoption can feel like an arranged marriage with no chance of divorce BUT I think that you will find, for the most part, that if your focus stays on the one person you all will love more than life itself (the baby-child-young adult-adult) everything will work itself out. Yes, it takes faith and trust and courage but so does a whole lot of parenting.
