Its so true Mari - Adoption is a painful process for the placing family - and it doesn't stop being painful over the course of time. I so hope that your story and your particiaption here will be the reminder that we all need. The pain can be easier with open relationships - for everyone including the children - and its that why adoption happens inthe 1st place as an option that is good for the children. And in your case - for your child and her child. Be blessed

Great new web site called Heritatge Makers- they have some great book ideas - easy to use up-load and go style book - more details then like Snap fish books- I love using them. PM me is you have more questions - and I don't work for them - but maybe I should LOL

gosh - as a pediatric Oncology nurse - I feel for you and your family - I have helped many families of children with brain tumors- none that were expecting since they had to be cared for in an adult setting prepared to assist with the delivery. I am so proud of my medical "team mates" for being so kind and compassionate with you and your family.

May Hugo and Lathan both have lives filled with love, health and laughter. May these boys always know the love their 1st families had for them and the courage it took to place them in the loving arms of the people they will call Mommy and Daddy. Congradulations on Sticking it out....

What a scarey place to be ? My heart aches for you as you relive this pain

A lifetime of sweetness for all involved!

Mari Your family will always be grateful that you took the time to document this very importnat time in your lives. May they all always be happy and healthy Hugs heidi

May this only be the beginning of a life filled with love, connection, health and happiness

Mari Nothing but love is written all over your posts... Hugs Heidi
