Our daughter was 2 when we had our last visit with bmom. I gave her a photo album filled with photos from previous visits and our own burgeoning collection and our sw used a polaroid camera. My dh and I felt so drained afterward and a little like kidnappers but we knew in our hearts it was the best for everyone. Our poor babe had a very rough few weeks after the visit. Be prepared for that. She was just out of sorts and acting out all the time. We agreed to stay in touch through our sw and I would write letters with new photos but the bmom never got in touch again. I still have a hard time when we read the lifebook and I know this poor woman's pain. However, our daughter has multiple special needs and her bmom would never have been able to handle even one of them effectively. It helps to remember what is best for our kids and that usually is us doing our best!
