I can't imagine how hard it must be to love your child SO much and feel so powerless and far away.

But I think you are doing the most important thing. You are letting him know how very, very loved he is! By making all those calls, and running around like crazy over this - he knows how much you love him. And you are SO aware how important that is, right? So many of us on this forum, yourself included, didn't have parents like he has. He knows he is loved and he has a safe home, if needed. That's the firmest foundation a parent can offer. You're a GREAT mom!!

I may be sending you adoption papers shortly...if we could just fib a bit on my age?
