Ok, I'm going to be different. Sometimes as first parents we do things for our kids that hurt, beyond just the original placement. Seeing my son is a mixed bag of emotions for me. I can't tell you how much I love him and great it is to see him growing and stuff BUT it is hard to hear him call someone else mom and what not.
You really need to think about the choice that you make now. Your daughter may very well read this as a rejection, even as young as she is. That is a huge hurt as well. It hurt me when I was 26 and it hurts me now at 30 that my firstmom doesn't want contact with me.
Sometimes we have to put ourselves out there for our kids, no matter how much it hurts us.

1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
