i feel it every day i love him to death i lvoe his parents coreya nd chris even know theyare brothers i get pictures but now that i live so far away i don;t see him asmuch. but i d talk to them when eve ri can but it still hurts that i don;t get to see him as much we used to see eachother at least 6 times a year the adoptive parents told me last time i called them that they were scared that i ma never gonna talk to them again. i seen him last timeon fathers day. the were coming back from a faimly vacation and stopped here on there way back to see our new house and to let me see corey. tey love jim they tell him everytime they se him thank you so much for making our tabatha hppy she so much deserves it but i don;t feel i should deserve it i mean here iam pregnant again bu in better ways meaning witht e envroment a daddy that is always gonna be there and for oncein my life iam truely loved. but why don;lt i feel like i willever stop hurting. i knw i did the best for him, and i know that he is better where he is and i don;t regret it never will. and another question why does my mom still find it a thret that peple know about her grandson out there living the goodlife? why does she think i did the worst thing imaginable sheisn;t the only one who thinks that my fiancee's faimly does too all except his dad his dad gives me lots of props. well iam sorry fo writing solong i thought i wold intrduce myself and ask a few questions with people in situation. than alot all. hope to get to know yall.

Welcome Tabatha!

I am new to all of this. My twin boys are barely a month old. I die a little more each day. I also have 2 older children and I just knew I could not care for two newborns they way they needed being a single parent.
I have asked the same question....Does it ever get better?...I keep getting the same answer. It never gets better, just easier to deal with. You learn how to deal with it.
I hate that answer, but at least they are being honest. Congrats on your new baby! I wish you all the luck in the world. You deserve it!
Take care and write anytime!!

Gina
