that is a tough one. i would probably give her the photo, especially if she wants to know what her birthmother looked like. but i don't think i'd do it before she is 18. that is her only physical connection with her birthmom.
we just received our photo today in the mail. i was so prepared to be overcome with the sadness of the birthmom. but what struck me...is that she looks not sad but indifferent and possibly bored. she is very pretty.
i held the picture, it is more precious than gold, and i will keep it so carefully until my little girl grows up.
best of luck. you will be one great mama!!
