Yes, we are finally home. We were gone for 24 days!!! Our little sweetie is 3 weeks 3 days old and I'm loving every minute of it. Not getting a whole lot of sleep, but I'm not complaining, I've slept enough in my life! My hubby and I are a great team. Don't know how I'd do it without him. Birthmom and her husband relinquished their rights at the hearing and besides having a social worker come out at 3 & 6 months, we're 99% in the clear for having her be ours forever!
Birthmom has been contacting me quite a bit lately and I have to say it's bothersome. Because every time I spend a lot of time thinking about her, I am reminded that I didn't give birth to my daughter and it kind of interferes with our bonding, I think. I know birthmom is going through a grieving process, mainly I think of the relationship we had before dd was born. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
