I'm glad to hear that the communication with Courtney is going well. She seems like a mature young woman.
However...

belle, what about respect for Courtney's mother? Any bio-mother certainly owes their relinquished child's parent
that much. I think CM did a good thing by carefully wording her reply to Courtney's mother so as to not stir the pot, so to speak, but the name of the game in ANY reunion is respect for everyone involved. Like it or not, Courtney's family
is involved - especially if Courtney still lives at home, you know?
I think it's encouraging, though, that Courtney feels comfortable enough to tell CM what she needs as far as time goes - - that seems like a good foundation to build a relationship on later, when she is ready.
