For some reason I can't bring myself to tell her any form of real truth! She is parenting a 16-ish month little girl, she's single but much older than I am. Maybe it's a pride issue? She asks about my daughter all the time but all I can really do is give her a version of the truth without actually telling her that she was placed: "Oh, she's at home right now." or "I worked hard to keep her out of childcare." or "Her family takes care of her." Ug. It's either society or pride. Nothing can keep me from not being proud of her though!

You don't need to tell everyone . There is such a thing as privacy. Now if you feel you are becoming friends you might want to have a heart to heart with her.

This Mother's Day I will be out of town on vacation. The original finalization date was the day after Mother's Day so I was off of work...but I spoke with her APs and asked if it could be moved, but I'd understand if they didn't want to. They said yes! Now there won't be two hard things in a row for me and I won't forever associate mother's day with losing my girl (at least anymore than I would have anyway) and the AMother won't have a bitter-sweet holiday celebrating the life of her new daughter while still remembering the lives of all those children she lost to miscarriage.
I won't, however, subject myself to another Mother's Day sunday morning at church...no way.

I am really proud of
you! That takes a lot of guts. You are worth it!

The length is fine. You have a lot to say. It would be great to have you. The Lifegiver's Festival is next August.
