No advice, reallly (sorry!) but I
do have a hug
. That makes you feel better, right??? Just know that we are in pretty much the same boat - we only hear from DD's birth grandma at this point. We do have a pic of some of DD's half-siblings, but the youngest wasn't even born when the pic was taken so it feels very incomplete. Bmom said she'd send more pics and a letter, but it hasn't happened yet. I can't imagine how hard it must be for her, but at the same time, I also want lots of letters and pics for DD as she grows up. I think it will help her understand her adoption better.
We also offered to visit at finalization. Grandma says they would love to visit, but we'll see if bmom comes. I do hope she will and I do hope all will go well. It's a tough situation, but I do think it'll get better for us all with time. Hang in there. Don't forget to have fun, smile, and take lots of pictures at your finalization!
