You moms are really defining the term (Precious momments).I love you for that. P.S. I have my first meeting with him tommarow .Say a prayer for us O.K. ?

They are wonderful people and we thank God every day that our son is with us and she did not decide to abort him but to give him life. She was only 16 at the time and now she is 18 yrs.old. The first year of his life we sent her and the bfather lots of pictures of him along with a lenghthy letter telling them all about him and all the milestones he is accomplishing. We also let her know that our door is open to her and her family to see our son and share in his life. If you would have told me that I would have been this way before the adoption, I would have told you "You are crazy, no way!". But of course that changed when we first met each other, I felt some kind of connection with the bmom immediately. I felt her pain and understood the sacrifice she was making for us and her son. She is not ready to see her son (our son) just yet. I'm sure she is still grieving a lot. She just left for college this summer, so her attention is with that for right now. The bgrandmother would love to meet our son again, the bgrandfather still cries about it (it's too painful for him just yet per his wife), we told her whenever they want to see him to just call us. We are waiting for the bmom to put together a photo album of her for our son. She promised it last summer(1999) but I know it's a big project and she is just putting it off. But we hope we get it soon because our son will be 23 mos. old and we would like to introduce him to her via pictures and get him ready to meet her down the road. Oh well, I know someday it will come because she only wants the best for him. We are so grateful to all you bmoms that are able to do this for your children, give them LIFE and let them share it with someone that can give them a family with lots of love and nourishment. Good luck to you in your future (some day you will give birth again to a child you can raise yourself)and continue to enjoy your child as much as possible. It never hurts anyone to have more people love them! Best Regards, Louise (Bobby's Mom)
