I have a daughter. She turned 2 in November. It's a long story, but due to circumstances out of my control, I couldn't keep her. I chose her parents and I know she's safe and well cared for.

It doesn't mean anything. It's like being on a diet. So you ate that cake yesterday. No sweat. Today is a new day. :) Wipe the slate clean.

So go ahead and cry. You have suffered a terrible loss: you have the right to express that grief.
As to baby, if you know she is well and happy, it will help. Asking for the photos was a good idea.
