My daughter (biomom) called on Oct. 31st to wish our GD a happy birthday and asked if she could see her (for those of you that don't know she has not seen her since Christmas time) and that she wanted us to meet her new son. After a very long discussion with my husband and our 3 other daughters I called her back and told her that her and the baby could come and see the GD but that was it the boyfriend could not come this time around, she tried to argue with me over this but we stood firm and told her that it was that way or no way.

I think the visit went well and we talked about the changes that she has made in her life and the baby looks happy and healthy. We talked about slowly, and I mean slowly integrating the GD back into her mothers life to where she may actually go home. I have no desire to pick up my relationship with my daughter but for GD's sake I will swallow my pride and do what is best for my GD, she does deserve to have a mom, providing things have changed and that she can earn my trust that my baby will not be treated badly again and that she can handle raising 2 children. We are watching very closely and will be for a very long time. I hope that this will have a happy ending after all. 1 visit down and another one planned on Sunday. Will keep you posted
