I can't imagine our Birth Mim not being part of my little one's life. <br /><br />I think this is partly because I don't want to lose our Birth Mom from my life! My wife and I love our Birth Mom dearly, and would be sad to not have a relationship. I'm sure Roo's parens feel that way too. So while the relationship may change, I'd be willing to bet (and hoping for myself) that the relationship between Birth Mom and child never diminishes.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436800707540885460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980531981336832789.post-54065381956328123772014-02-18T23:37:51.485-07:002014-02-18T23:37:51.485-07:00I guess I'm just selfish or something because ...I guess I'm just selfish or something because I'm not sure I could let my son go if he decided someday he no longer needed me in his life. That I was somehow "extra". The thought breaks my heart. I like to think there's room for all of us, the whole adoption triad, in the life of the child that brought us all together. I'd like to hope that his parents think so too. <br />I'd also like to hope that if this sad idea became real and I was no longer needed in his life that I too could put his needs first, once again, and let him go. Thought provoking stuff.

It's wonderful you've blogged this whole time. I'm hoping to be a foster mom some day, and the relationship with the birth mother will likely be quite different but I'd like to think she'd be like you. :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361140848044703810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980531981336832789.post-20285946484135721312014-02-18T03:41:59.546-07:002014-02-18T03:41:59.546-07:00Your love for Roo is so evident in how selfless yo...Your love for Roo is so evident in how selfless you are about your own feelings and always putting her needs and desires before your own.<br />Thank you for sharing. <br /><br />The Blessed Barrennesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705483551013268275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980531981336832789.post-57843738893986295422014-02-17T15:01:32.222-07:002014-02-17T15:01:32.222-07:00you are so amazing!
