Warning: If you are looking for drama or a heated discussion, this is not the post for you. Yesterday was one of those really incredible spring days here---bright and sunny, about 75, a little breeze. The trees are starting to leaf out, the tulips are in bloom. I took H to meet with his bmom,M, and her parents and her new baby at the park. Nothing really special, just kind of a regular visit. They brought H a kite, and there was just enough wind for it. He was absolutely delighted, and spent about an hour (a long time when you're 2) flying it w/ M's dad while I gave the new baby a bottle and talked to M and her mom. It was just a nice afternoon at the park for a little boy and his grandfather. It's nothing really, so I can't explain why it made me so happy, but it did. Sometimes when I was waiting for H, I would get on here and read posts about tensions between birthfamilies and adoptive families and I got depressed and scared about what I was getting myself into. But I know now there are lots of stories like mine, about nothing special, just life's little moments that we take for granted at the time. I just thought today that I would share one.

Ok, so I got a wonderful email from Lilly's birthmom today. I was also thinking of how uplifting it could be to share a "positive", so here goes... Good morning "Lilly's Mommy", I wanted to say how wonderful it was to be able to celebrate Lilly's 2nd birthday with you three, your family and friends. It was such a nice party, and I was very comfortable among everyone there just being able to love on Lilly. I know that my comfortableness is not a priority, but I think it says a lot about how great our relationship is, and I really love that. After two years, I find I am more grateful for you both and more secure in my decision than I could have ever imagined. I could never have imagined that Lilly would be SO loved, SO cared for and SO well parented, and though I hope that I can continue to relay that to you all the time, I figured that the 2 year mark was a good time to just get it out there. Thank you for being the wonderful people you are, and loving Lilly SO much. I am so grateful for you both, and our relationship. I hope that as time goes on we can continue to communicate and grow closer. Much Love,"Lilly's Birthmom" ps: I know this is not the most eliquent email but the feeling is sincere and I hope that that comes thru. If that didn't just warm my little amom heart...:love:
