Leigh...exactly how I feel...

At our last visit, I really WANTED DD to spend some time alone with her birth mom, to bond, etc. And the whole time, she kept looking at me and going, "MAMA!" I "thought" that I may find this reaffirming (and of course it is in some sense) but it actually just made me feel sort of sad for birth mom....Sometimes I think seeing their birth kids with their "moms" must be so hard for birth moms....I know it is for DD's birth mom, but she says it gives her great comfort to see how well DD is doing (again, she is also very supportive of us and our role as DD's "only" parents...so I know it may be a little different, N).

PS: I just wanted to add my one other totally politically incorrect point (since I like the venting). Nothing gets me more "steamed" than to see birth parents who are in reunion talk about what a crummy job a parents did with their kids. I guess I can understand kids complaining about their a parents and wishing things were different (not that I want that of course). I always feel like saying, I am not raising someone else's child, but my own! (OK, sorry totally OT, but my vent! haha)
