Jackie...

I am so glad to hear that your medical test have come back fine. That is great news!!! Well, I am not sure how much i will be able to respond over the next 3 1/2 weeks, as I am heading to Maryland to spend time with my "placed" Daughter. (I hate calling her that!!) I am a little nervous bc we still don't ahve things worked out where the amom is concerned about time being spent. But I am just going to go into with an open mind and heart, and pray for the best.

My "raised" children (I hate that too) are going to be meeting her for the first time, as well. So this should be exciting...at least I hope it will be. I am going to try to keep up with the comments on here and maybe even do a few posts on the blog.

Take care and i will post soon.

Dear Cas,

I can only imagine what must be going through your mind as your take the trip to Maryland. Nervousness, excitement, apprehension, sorrow, joy....the whole gamut.

I will be thinking of you and wish you a safe journey.


Many hugs to you,

Janey

Dear Cas,

I wish you well on your journey. (Where in MD will you be?) It has taken a couple of years for D's mom to be comfortable with the fact that I am in D's life. I've tried to make it clear that I am not trying to replace her in D's life. D and I have a very comfortable relationship, but as two related adults -- I'm not the mother who raised him and in someways that's an aid to our relationship because our relationship has started on a pretty much level playing field as adults. I'm not tempted to treat him as a child and he's not likely to hear what I say that way.

I don't think S and I will ever be best friends but our relationship is much easier than it was at the beginning. (She was always polite, but I could tell that she was very uncomfortable and not very happy because I was a continuing presence in D's life.) D just keeps asking all of us to family events (I've attended all three of his daughter's birthday parties for example.)

I guess what I'm saying is don't give up yet. Reunion, like all of life, is a journey.
