Yesterday we had a long overdue visit with my littles' previous family. It's been a year since the last visit, but my kids roots have grown strong in my family. I knew that a visit with birth family members would not uproot our strong bond. We met at a fast food restaurant where the kids could play and the adults could talk. As I told them our adoption had been finalized, through tears of joy, I tried to thank them for sharing the children with me. I was met with tears that did not seem joyful, but full of pain and loss. They assured me that they are grateful that the adoption has happened and the kids are in a permanent home. I held their hands, hoping to infer that I understand their pain and we are still strongly connected through my three littles.
