Hmm, I'm in the minority, I don't have pics up for a few reasons. I only just started speaking to my daughter's a-mom again recently, so up until this summer, I only had a few pics of her from her first 9 months that her a-mom sent years ago. Those I have in a small album in a box. This is mainly because my family doesn't know yet, and I couldn't put them up in my room, and I had a roomate for three years who didn't know either. The reason why there was a gap in contact is because I moved on for a while, since that's what I thought I was "supposed to do".
But one of the first things a-mom did was send new pics of the family once we started to reaquaint ourselves. I wanted to PLASTER the pics to every wall, until I realized that I had few people to share them with. How sad. I bought photo paper, and was debating whether I should put the one of the family up on my fridge, where my boyfriend and I keep all the pics of the nieces/nephews/friends children, but I was afraid on the off chance that one of my siblings or my parents would come by and noticed it on the cluttered fridge (which doesn't happen often) DD resembles me a lot, so it would kinda stick out! I think I'm a little closer emotionally to putting one up in my room next to my bed, once we get the printer working!!
I'm dealing with a lot of the issues that I've held down for so long (the reason why I'm here!!), and I know that telling my family needs to be done, the sooner the better, so I am working on it. Right now I'm still trying to get my head together, but I feel each day I'm getting closer, but I know when that time comes, I'll certainly put pics up.
