I think that there is probably a percentage of every feeling towards birth parents. I remember that even though I didn't get to meet Jer's birthmom, just looking at the pictures made me feel the way you did. BUT with Jo's birthmom I am totally opposite. I know way more about their story and reasonings though and I felt connected to her from day one. So, I attribute my new found feelings to that. Everyone has a "hard reason" for their adopting their child out, but I am afraid that NOT every reason is one that touches everyone. I hope that makes sense. Anyways, you guys did wonderfully and you have that memory for her when she is ready.Sarah khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745829589179607659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776056.post-29153531715972428922008-07-25T11:53:00.000-04:002008-07-25T11:53:00.000-04:00so happy to hear all is going well and that claire...so happy to hear all is going well and that claire is so comfortable with you! she's a beauty....keep posting those photos!!!Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05025104225794869065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776056.post-49064414933837078152008-07-25T11:31:00.000-04:002008-07-25T11:31:00.000-04:00It is going to be so important later that you met ...It is going to be so important later that you met them.

In some way, that helps me. Because, while I'm a very emotional person, I have this feeling that I will be like you describe. Who really knows until you go through it (if I have this opportunity), but I have such a peace about it... which you have- a complete peace that Claire is where she should be! And you are the best mommy and daddy that this sweet little girl could hope for! The pictures are gorgeous- she looks sooooo comfortable and at ease already. Praying you get the rest you need, and that she works out the sleep issues. Although, with the time difference, working it out on Taiwan time is not really the goal, is it? Hopefully US time will be "magic" and she'll have no issues once home!Tisrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075045361304027492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776056.post-36633154185894073572008-07-25T09:08:00.000-04:002008-07-25T09:08:00.000-04:00I just want to reach through this screen and hug y...I just want to reach through this screen and hug you! I am so happy for you guys! <BR/>Eli is almost 4 and still fights sleep. He doesn't want to miss a single moment of anything that might be going on around him.<BR/>Claire is just beautiful and you all look perfect together.redmaryjaneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09768158710291676368noreply@blogger.com
