The biological parent is not thinking of the child, but of themselves. Their immaturity is more an issue than the best interest of the child. I feel that things will go well for you all, this is just something we all have to go through. Maybe to truly cement our relationships with our adopted children. I don't have answers to why. I just know that we need to leave it all on God's altar and let He who loves us and loves our children do what is right. Any biological parent who gives 15 mos. hemming and hawing about their child does not deserve to parent. Parenting is about FULL TIME COMMITMENT. Anyone who doesn't get that should have no rights. How much we all give to our children -- 100% of ourselves and our families and, even though they were not born of our bodies, they are OUR CHILDREN in God's eyes. Stay strong. I so understand all that you say in terms of thinking that after 30 days we thought we should be done with the stress of wondering. It's so constant. Enjoy every moment of your family. We all have many years ahead of us and need to be the best parents possible. And if we continue to hold each other up, we will make it through this. ALL OF YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.
