Another Suggestion

Part of her wanting to hold on to your stuff is her wanting to hold on to you. If dad is willing, I would tell her you will let her "borrow" 6 videos until we have our visit after you move. That shows her you arent going to disappear from her life either. If dad is willing, arrange for a month after she moves out for you to go visit or whatever, you can "pick up" those 6 movies, and bring her 3 more to "share" until your next visit.

I also would suggest that you make an album or album sheet of your time together. Maybe write her a letter that you can put in her album talking about her special qualities, why you enjoyed taking care of her, how you hope she grows up. Include pictures of your home, pets, family members she knows. Talk about any special times you had. All that will help her transition. Maybe, as well, she could work on it with you.
