I was told in January when a visit was cancelled, the day of, that L had a Christmas present for me.
Here it is almost November and I still haven't received it. Will I? Probably not. Just makes me wonder what it was.

We were told in 2002 that AJ's firstfather had written him a letter. He had requested a closed adoption, but was going off to Iraq, and wanted to send something just in case...He gave the letter to D in good faith that she'd give it to us...She told us that she had it (otherwise, we would have never known) and that she'd send it right away.
Later, she said the letter was messy and she was going to rewrite it, to which I said that as he got older, AJ would probably cherish something in his firstfather's own handwriting, so he could at least have something from him.
Then she said she lost it...
Then she said her mom tore it up.
Then she said that she never had it and that I'm making it all up.
Sometimes I wonder if I AM going crazy and it's all in my head - but my DH was there for the conversations, so I suppose not.
I'm there with you, Leigh...
And Susie - I remember the recital incident. It's so hard when the little ones are looking forward to things, isn't it? Like you, I choose to wait til the last minute to announce when we are seeing certain members of the boys' firstfamilies.
