Thanks, guys...I think that is probably the "nicest" and "most standard" goodbye and I am telling you I am losing it (except a nice glass of Cotes de Rhone (sp?) brought me back to my senses!!! And I even waited until 7 pm!)

I'm glad you're feeling better. Honestly, it sounded to me like she typed exactly what dd said. I do that for my kids when they want to email family.
Maybe someday you will be able to visit more often. ![]() |

OK, maybe I am being blunt, but where is the harm in what was said? I mean no matter if it is the birth sister or the birthmom who really is expressing the desire for a visit soon, is that a bad thing? To me it says they are interested, and they care. All good stuff IMO.
Speaking from another perspective, I recieved a note from my oldest DD's birthmom, asking us to please refrain from contacting her at all, when DD was about 8 mons old. At least your child's birthfamily are excited and willing to forge forward and build a relationship, that is a wonderful thing. Not trying to appear unsupportive by my comment, just sharing my thoughts as someone who has been there, done that (a few times.) |

Not trying to play devil's advocate here, but from someone who has been at the other end of the spectrum. let me say this. As long as that's as far as it goes - a simiple, polite closing, I wouldn't worry. However, that's how our DDs bmom started out and by the time we smartened up and called an end to it, she was prompting her children who are all older than DD to say things to her such as, "you'll come and live with us someday", and, "dont' call her "K", call her mom, she's mom". Other family members of hers have witnessed her prompting her kids. So, just pay attention and make sure it doesn't start to escalate.
So, chances are it's innocent, but just keep paying attention and don't feel badly for being on your toes.
