Bittersweet feelings

Tomorrow is my sweet LO 1st birthday! I cant help but feel a little sadness. I spent the first 6 months of her life worrying that someone would take her away, I spent so much time worrying that I feel like I missed out on stuff. Yes, I am very present in her life so please don't get the assumption that I checked out. I was there just kinda kept myself guarded so I wouldn't be hurt so badly is BM decided to stop everything. Crazy assumption I know. We have been so grateful for our BM and her family and I can't believe it has been a year...what a crazy year it has been. First I was there to see her be born and cut her cord and then we finalized and now I have a beautiful lil girl that looks at my like there is nothing else in the world that matters. I am sorry for such a random post, just wanted to share and see if anyone else felt this way.

    I felt this same way, not at her birthday but at finalization.
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!
