Mandalyn, I don't know your or your sis' situation, but I presume she didn't have the baby as a "gift" to you. There are likely some circumstances why she placed the child with you.
I always "thank" our DD's birth family in our letters for blessing us with her. But it IS a weird thing to say really. And frankly, I also think it is important that birth parents appreciate what you are doing too (like it should be a mutual admiration society!).
Do you talk regularly with your sister? Can you explain to her that you are sorry she is hurting and of course you are so grateful to be raising your child. Did your sister get counseling?
Anyway, I hope this all works out well. Good luck!
