Well, i can only tell you what i personally went through. It's was really hard to say goodbye. Before saying goodbye the visit was perfect. To hold him, love him, kiss him again..it was heaven. If I can give any advice i would say remember that when you leave and say your goodbye it's not goodbye forever, it's just until next time. You'll have more visits and get to see him again and just keep thinking positive!

Did you end up having your visit? How was it?
I had my son right around the same time as you, and have been lucky enough to see him twice since then with a third visit scheduled for this weekend. Everytime a visit comes up I get really nervous about how I'll come across to his parents, and if he'll cry when I hold him. I always come back to the boards and read the posts by adoptive parents in open adoptions to remember how much they and the kids value having us in their lives, and that makes it make sense again. And honestly the goodbye at the hospital was the hardest moment in my life, since then it hasn't been so bad. I see how happy and loved my son is and I can only be happy for him, it's hard to feel bad for myself when I see how amazing his life is going to be.
So I hope you had your visit and I would love to hear about it.
