In fact, last year on February 13th, she reminded me that we had met four years ago. This year, it will be five years! My, how times flies. My plan is to surprise De this year by reminding her first! So glad I found your blog, and looking forward to reading lots more. <br /><br />I know your open adoption is 7 months new, but it just gets better and better every day. In July, it will be five years since the adoption, and from a birthmother's perspective, I couldn't have asked for more out of open adoption. We are so blessed to have found each other, and I know you feel that way about your adoptive family too. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story!<br /><br />Amy :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11461577967675043217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742513755380604219.post-47637649985204037402010-01-30T14:31:13.201-08:002010-01-30T14:31:13.201-08:00You both are blessed.
