But she's gonna need you when she feels all that disappointment as she realizes first hand what her birth mother is like.<BR/><BR/>All this letting go stuff is hard!

I hope you have a good Christmas anyway!<BR/>We had ours last night with my family with intentions of leaving this morning for his family... thwarted by the weather and who knows if we'll get there at all now.
