    She is so pretty and looks so happy (and I love her outfit!)

    I'm so glad things have gone so great for you two. I actually met-up with a childhood friend recently who was adopted and was wondering if she ever met her biological parents.

    Gah! She looks like Amy Adams.
    I ain't thirsty. There's plenty of fish in the sea, but I don't want all of them, can I have some standards? Or do we just have to settle, for someone's who meh and will do.

    In case that sounded bad, I think Amy is one smoking hot redhead!

    I also found out about siblings I had later in life so I relate to meeting family I didn't know and seeing similarities and such.

    But more importantly, I work with birth mothers in the adoption process so reading all of this has brought lots of tears.... so good to read about good experiences! One girl I am working with is really struggling with giving up her baby (in June) and these stories are so powerful. Thank you for sharing all of it! It's inspiring me in may ways...

    So, I'm back. It was super great. No time for a big post right now, but I wanted to post a few pics. :)

    Me and the BF

    The happy couple, me and the birth father. It was happily non-awkward.

    Me and my daughter sharing a hug *sniff*

    And from the front

    The happy couple in the front. From L to R
    Me, the birth father's stepfather, the biological father, my dad, my mom, and the mother of the biological father. What an odd sentence. Sorry about that.

    The professional pics should be ready in about two weeks. :)

    That's fabulous. How cool that the bio-father was there too...and it wasn't awkward. Y'all are such grown-ups.

    You and the bride looked beautiful. You really carried off that dress.
  • curlysue21curlysue21 Posts: 5,219Registered Users
    Wow. How wonderful that all of you could be there to share her day, and better yet that no one was uncomfortable! You look great and your daughter looks beautiful. I love the photo of the two of you. You can really see the resemblance!

    RCW, I thought of you while getting dressed, lol. I thought of those bra friendly dresses you posted in the spring dress thread.

    I'm glad that all of the bio family was there to share. I really like the bio fathers wife, so we chatted quite a bit. With both bio families, her family and his family there, it worked out well. No awkardness. Answering lots of questions from those who had never met me, but it was all friendly.

    She has turned out to be a great young woman, and I'm proud of her, small as my accomplishment was. Her parents did a good job raising her.

    She told me I should be a grandma in 5 years, lol.

    You two look so alike in that photo! And beautiful.
    I have to say I love the pic of the back of your head. :lol: Your hair looks great. And yep, that color really works for you.
    Also: so that's the boyfriend! :p
    Gorgeous pics. If I didn't know, I wouldn't think you were her mother. ;)

    Gorgeous! I love her dress!! That's far more train than I could handle without tripping over. I admire her skillz. :D

    It's great that you guys found each other and that you're close now. And you look just alike!--same nose, same eyes, and the same smile. It's adorable. (although I can't believe you're her mother. You look too young for that!)

    You both looked beautiful, and you were rocking that dress! You look about 25! She should thank you for those genes--they'll come in handy later!

    You both looked gorgeous - she is definitely your daughter!

    And the dress turned out fabulous... I love the accessories!

    Saria, my mom snapped a pic of the back of my head. Good thing too since she fixed my dress in the back too.

    This is really a great and inspiring story (it's like a Lifetime movie, but better!). You, in particular, are inspirational.

    You look great in the dress, and your daughter looks beautiful. I love her dress and how simple her veil is! You and your boyfriend both look under 30, like you could be at your graduation in that particular picture, actually.

    Congratulations!

    When I saw the first pic of you and your BF, I thought to myself "why isn't her daughter wearing a wedding dress?". Then I realized it was you! You look young! (I don't mean that as an insult - you look fabulous).

    Very great photos! You both look lovely.
