Yes, we did adopt her baby. She was 21 mos old when bmom did tpr and we finalized adoption. They were raised as sisters legally BUT the baby (age 4 now) knows she has 2 mom's . She knows that Alyssa (her a.name) is her bmom and I am her a. mom. She calls her bmom mama lissa and me mama. Our daughter has moved out now and Jennnifer visits her in Memphis every couple months.
This situation worked out great for us! Some people thought we were crazy adopting a baby at our ages (50&57) at the time. But we knew this was the baby girl we had longed for since our bio son was small (he is 34) I thank God for bringing both her and her bmom to our door that hot summer night. I am glad I did not have to choose between them but was blessed with both girls.
I wish you luck in your situation. Feel free to email me or add me to your messenger list if you would like to chat sometime.
