my dd

[dolphin13]

I just want to say it's my dds birthday tomorrow. I have just been watching her sleep so peacefully in her warm, pretty bedroom and thinking how differant her life could have been. I feel so overwelmed with love for her. So grateful to the SWs who care enough to do a very difficult job and help to give childen like my dd a 2nd chance.
Also wonder how her birth mum feels at times like this and grateful to her for supporting the adoption.

That's it really, just having a moment.

Awwwwww!
She's a lucky girl.

Awwww

Happy birthday babydolphin

Aaaww - happy birthday to your little girl and I hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow!

What a lovely post, dolphin. Many happy returns to your little girl

I know just what you mean - birthdays are so poignant aren't they? In my case I wish his birth mother could know how much I love him and how although it is sad that he even needed a secind chance that he is loved as much as it is possible for any child to be loved.

Happy birthday Littledolphin. I hope you have had a lovely day.

Kew I just wish me and DS's birth mum could share his birthdays, the way I had planned.

sad isn;t it Chegirl- our dc's all have their own sotries and each of them sad in their own way and yet peculairly we find happiness in teh situation now.

Thank you all. We had a lovely day.

Doing it all again tomorrow with one of my fc. Good job I like parties.

We are much luckier than most. DD does see her bm twice a year and she is very supportive of us, when we see her she always thanks us for adopting dd. She realises that she could never have parented dd.

What does upset me a little is that dd has 6 other half siblings and 1 full sibling. We have letterbox contact with the adoptive parents of her full sibling but they will not allow direct contact between their dc and our`dd. I think they feel a little threatened because we have a relationship with bm.
I really hope that one day, all being well bm will be able to join in celebrations such as graduation, wedding etc (if dd chooses those paths in life).

"they will not allow direct contact between their dc and our`dd." - thats so sad - maybe they will relent in the future or when their DC gets to have an opinion.
