Everything is going great with the new baby home. She is a joy. She has spent most of her time here sleeping. However, she's awake enough to prevent us from getting much sleep.
Yesterday we had a visit from her Birthmother. It was beautiful to see the two of them together again. It was as if the start of Z's life journey had been marked. I'm not sure how to put it into words but with the CEO and I in the house and Z's Birthmother present well we were all there. Those of us who love so dearly this is what we had worked for to honor Z by including all of those people in her life who make her who she is and who she will be at that moment we were all represented and we were living up to what we had agreed upon.
I think one of the beautiful things with open adoption is that you are committing to letting everyone who wants to love your child to do so. I've always thought how could not letting people who want to love your child into there life be confusing or detrimental. It just can't be. Through this process or Z's birth and adoption I have become an even more staunch supporter of Open Adoption.
