You didn't express anything in your first post that many other mommies haven't felt. The beauty of your situation is that you gave us a window into your soul and we got to watch it be transformed. Believe me, it happened to me too.
When I first got into foster/adopting, I had this vision of what bmom's were like and how they felt. I started going on line to forums such as this one and discovered the women on line were nothing like I had imagined bmom's were. I was then able to open my heart to my fc's bmoms and understood better what some of them were feeling. That spilled over to how I related to my fc (which as you indicated are the IMPORTANT ones in the whole scenerio).
I'm so happy that the visit went well. That picture will be priceless in the future to your daughter. Did you leave the door open for future visits?
