You have shown such dignity and love in such a difficult situation. We are so thankful to you. You are brave and wise and a good mother. You have cared more for your son than for yourself. My husband and extended family are forever grateful
as I am as well. We will do all we can to bring up a healthy, loving son. Thank you from the deepest part of my heart.

Also ... I encourage you to continue posting here, but we try really hard here not to make anyone feel bad, whether intentionally or not. Your comment was VERY interesting and it made me think ... I LOVE THAT! It is true... we had to give our puppy up for adoption about 9 months ago and we not only put together a little photo album, but we found the family for him and we talk to them about once a month, they send video's and other things about how he is doing ... and when we visit Iowa we have been invited to come to the farm and spend the day with him. Unlike the adoptive parents that I relinquished my own son to ... they have cut me off since the day I signed the papers ... SO on that note ... I completely relate to your post!

It's hard not to judge though ... and especially if we don't know the whole story - we can really cause damage. I hope that continue to post ... and keep bringing those "pondering" thoughts to us ... maybe in a little "nicer" way though??
in love!
Courtney
