But I hope things go OK for you in the future. Adoption is a really sensitive topic for all those involved, and we all deal with it in the way/s that are most comfortable to us at the time.

I did survive and I remind myself of that daily. While I am deeply saddened at her choices, I do know I will survive (for I already have) and that I must live my life to the greatest extent possible - regardless. I am glad you came to the same conclusion. Hugs to you. Liz – Your sticky note is pretty much my daily mantra. I did survive and I remind myself of that daily.

As a firstmom, I believe this is a boundary we all dread will be set by our children, but we are also acutely aware that this boundary can be set at any time by our kids no matter what state our reunion may be in at any given time. I have had such a hard time accepting this fact and finally put it on a sticky on my bathroom mirror;"I survived when I did not know anything of what had happened to my children, now I know they are safe, healthy, alive, and capable of making their own choices. I must accept this and live my life in love" I admire your strength and the love you have for yourself and your daughter which allows you to respect her boundaries while taking loving care of your own feelings. I don't know you, Suz, but I stand with you and I've learned so much from reading your blog. Thank you. Hugs. Suz, just catching up on your blog!
