Both tybeemarie and LAJCRC made excellent points- you gave the gift of attachment at the expense of your own heart. The wonderful thing is that the pain eventually subsides and you are left with memories of a precious child who depended on you and was blessed by you. Each child that comes through your home is another beautiful gem in your crown. Blessings to you.
