To make a LOOOONG story short, she is 22 months and came into my care when she was only three months. The birth mother returned to her family in FL. After about two months, I recieved a call from the cw stating that the birth mother wants her mother (the baby's grandmother) to have custody of her. So, both the birth mother and the grandmother came to NY to have the courts transfer my FD to FL.
At that time, I decided that after she left I would close my home. I had gotten sooooo attached to her that I could not bear to see her leave and did not want to go thur this ordeal again. I really did not know that you could actually fall so deeply in love with another person child. She became a part of me.
Then three weeks ago the grandmother spoke to the caseworker to let him know that she was still interested in taking custody of her granddaughter. But, last week out of the blue ( a year and half later) the birth mother called me from Florida to let me know that she was going to surrender her rights so that I could adopt her child.
I am still pinching myself. I can't stop kissing my FD. I am soooo happy. I can't stop thanking God!!! Of couse, I would feel even better once her rights are officially surrendered. Eventhough, she sound sincere about her decision.
