Hello Ladies,

So, the boards are up and running--time for us to start to gab again. Anything on anyone's mind?

How are your birth children doing? Anyone had a visit lately?

Jenn, how are your bMom groups coming along? (If you think of anymore tips, let me know!)

Okay - I have to finish packing (moving) - so I better get going!

Love ya,
Skye

   She is really smart, she counts to ten, but starts at two.

Amber and Jerry are potty training her, she is trying, because her Daddy is going to get her a Barbie when she is a big girl, or so she tells me. Her favorite toys right now are her dishes and plastic food, she loves to fix dinner for everyone about ten times a day, and of course feed all her babies. She is a girly girl, she loves to wear jewelery and wear her hair up in a pony tail.

  Hope your doing well skye ,

Heather

Hello Heather!

She sounds like a doll. I am such a dork, I love playing with that plastic food! lol

I am glad to hear things are going well. How old is Madison again? About 2 or 3, right? Emily is a bit over three now - it sure goes by fast, doesn't it?

Well, keep in touch!

My little Rory - their little Alex is 4 months old and a few weeks already. He is beautiful - still has strawberry blond hair and has kept his father's blue eyes. He's healthy and making his adoptive parents thrilled every moment. I have been getting letters and pictures every month. It's still hard for me, it's was such a sacrifice for me but I know that I did the right things for him. I am doing well - work, home, family - all things going very well for me (picking up well financially and emotionally from the divorce). My daughter is doing well with everything also.

When I get a letter and pictures I am thrilled. It puts me in a little slump though because he is sooooooo perfect and I know just what I have given up. I pick myself up after a couple weeks, recommit to my decisions for him, carry on - then start wanting new sets of pictures to see how he is doing - but knowing what emotional struggle I go through each time - doesn't make me hunger for pictures less - but makes me cautious for the next one. I still very much want to see him but...... I realize it would be very hard on me to see him - not that given the choise I wouldn't choose it - but makes me very empathetic for those of you who do see your birthchildren regularly.

A journey...... much love - keep strong! Jodi

Hello Jodi,

I am glad you stopped by to give us an update on your precious Rory! I bet he has grown so much - it goes by so fast, doesn't it? I am glad to hear your daughter is doing okay with the adoption.

I believe there is a common misconception to an open adoption with visitations...folks tend to think we have it "easier". Not true, seeing my daughter does not make it easier, but more bearable.

Love ya girl - Take care and chin up! Stop in more often, okay?
