I haven't read the other responses but I had Tessa in July 08. Sabrina came home in July 07 when she was 9 months old (although I fostered the last 2 months). Before I had Tessa, I told anyone who asked that I didn't feel like I missed much with Sabrina. Newborns are just lumps - we missed out on sleepless nights and got her just when things got fun. After having Tessa? I totally mourn that I missed that time with Sabrina. I had no idea how much I missed and it makes me so sad. Yes, I am happy she was loved during that time by her foster mom but I hate that I missed it. So I totally get what you are saying. And I do hope to talk about it with her. It also makes me ache even more for her birth mom who didn't experience any of it.
