My 6 year old asked, "How long does it TAKE? Can't Heavenly Father just put our new baby in the tummy of someone who is pregnant NOW and tell her it's supposed to be ours??" Ummm... not exactly, honey. She still has some understanding to gain about the other side of things... (She has read the letter from her birthmother about how she prayed and knew our family was right for her...) Really sweet, though.

Wow, your 6-year-old has read the letter from her birthmother?
Can I ask you- I relinquished a child for adoption 20 years ago and my parents wrote a beautiful letter to the adoptive parents (I was adopted so they knew the other side) and I was told I could write one but I never could- I must have tried a thousand times and it was never good enough to be my "final words" to him. How big of a deal is the letter to your daughter? Does she read it a lot? Do you think a child would feel badly not to have one? I have always felt awful that I never did get one written and sent. I don't know that the LDS social services would do that for me now, unfortunately.
Also, I have more medical info that I was not able to give at the time. Do they have ways of passing that kind of thing on if you contact the agency?
Thanks
