Changes

I haven't been around in a while. Life has been busy. My daughter has really done well and I don't even recognize her as that scared little girl who was acting out. At one time we closed her adoption to her grandpa. Then we opened again and he was later diagnosed with cancer and passed away. We had several great visits and pictures. We also opened the adoption to her birthmom. She is doing well now (except for losing her dad) and has a 2 year old. My daughter is anxious to get to know her sister. We are having her over tonight for a sleep over. While it was tough in the beginning, I feel as if we have made it through to the other side. I used to come here and read and pray for a sign that it would all be OK. It has been the most difficult, yet most rewarding and precious time of my life, those first few years. Now she is thriving and beautiful and attached. I do hope that all who are in the beginning stages know, there is hope. Hang in there!
