Rose,
((((HUGS)))), I have an idea of how this hurts you. I helped my friend place her baby girl in Dec. 03. Like you, the aparents promised her not only the moon, but the stars, too. They have yet to even send ONE picture. The aparents are my neighbors, and I see baby J sometimes (the amom acts like I have the plague...WEIRD, the adad treats me like a queen!) and they sent me 4 small pictures of her at Christmas. I guess to pass along to the birthmom who is one of my best friends. You know, the bottom line is this...she would have placed with them even if they had insisted on a closed adoption. I don't know why they felt the need to make promises that they didn't keep.
It hurts my friend's feelings, but she's sure she made the right decision whether they honor their promise or not. She has relocated to my part of the world permanently (YIPPEE!!) and has found her soulmate and gotten married. But I still know she hurts because of the broken promises.
I SOOOO wish so much that p.a.parents would not get so "wrapped up in the moment" that they make promises that they won't keep. It's not fair to anybody involved.
I pray for peace for you.
