This is the first one that I cried on. They have al been heartbreaking but our daughter was about the age of your Sarah when we brought our first foster baby home. This brought back those memories. I was pretty naive about all of this sort of thing then.

I've entertained this fantasy, of course, and I did have contact with her natural mom later in the story (that I didn't finish on blog), but we haven't spoken in years now. My sense is that she was not interested in maintaining a relationship with us; certainly, the adoption attorney advised her not to (this I heard direct from the attorney myself). by Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195996442301095997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725137789250152370.post-7755801800987434202016-08-14T16:08:52.017-04:002016-08-14T16:08:52.017-04:00I still think of all of these adoptions too.

Her much older half-sister keeps in touch with me and texts from time to time. I never ask about Nina, but I like hearing from her sister because it makes me feel connected to Nina. I figure if she is not safe, her sister will say something. So, I am kind of like your "benevolent stalker" analogy, only I pray for "no news" because I have rationalized that if Nina's mother has asked her family not to share news of her with me, then they will only do so if there is danger and they need my help. It has been 2 years since I have had much word of Nina beyond knowing she is alive.<br /><br />I hope to read the rest of your story some day. Thanks for reading my comment, and my very best to you and Lily,<br /><br />JayJay Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592280612055255470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725137789250152370.post-34339830725517083522015-12-17T00:15:37.734-05:002015-12-17T00:15:37.734-05:00I so pray she is happy and healthy and loved.

I have ...Good to hear that you are well, Jennifer. I have thought of you often. Lots has happened in the past year. My former foster daughter Nina's mother abruptly cut off contact with us, after 7 years. She became homeless and I tried to help her. I believe the insecurity of being homeless led her to become afraid that I would take Nina from her (although that would never have happened).<br /><br />So, Nina is far away and there is a void in my heart. I hope Lily's story will reach us all some day.

She'll get to it in her own time. Now, if i happen to loose the bookmark before she finishes it'll suck. Tabithanoreply@blogger.com
