I am so glad that you responded back. Yes we had birthmom come stay with us. We may have been a little selfish, but it was mainly to keep people from filling her mind with stuff. I think you probably understand already. Everyone has their opinion of the situation. Anyway, it worked well because I got to feel like Kenlie was mine already. I was the one who paid the dr's and took her and fed her. I took the birthmom out for those late night cravings. We did the shopping for maternity clothes. That was fun! You will be suprised how close you become and we almost felt like we were adopting her in a way. We took care of her for 9 months. I would say that you should have her move in with you, at least you will know what is going through her mind all the time. She will have alot going through her mind. How old is your cousin? What side of the family is she on? Susan visits about 1 time every 1-2 months, but never for long. She some and goes fairly quick, but I think alot of it is because Kenlie looks like her and she is an amazing little girl. She is so smart and friendly. She has always been polite and so mothering to her baby brother. I love that they are so close in age because they love each other so much.
I do the picture thing for everyone. It gets expensive, but I love to show her off. Anyway, I am happy for you. Do you have a lawyer? Ask away I have been through it... Kenlie does not have much contact with my dad's side of the family because we have never been very close. My dad has some problems with it because he should really be her uncle not her g-pa. Susan's mom only sees Kenlie 1x a year if that. She harly ever somes over. Susan was just arrested for public intox, and I haven't spoken to her since. She was going to the airforce at the end of the month, but who knows now. I am sorry this is so long and choppy, it late.. I hope you write back with details on how everything is going. Sherri
