Toothless!
D's lost his first two teeth - one on the bottom and one on the top. His toothless grin makes me smile - he's so cute!

First, A Thank You
I want you to know that D. is doing well and fine. He's loving preschool, and has some really good friends. I appreciate that you want to know how the child you brought into the world is doing as he grows. This is the place I'll post pictures and updates, that way you can see them any time you'd like, from where ever is convenient for you. You can save the pictures on a thumb drive (a few bucks at Walmart) and have them printed at those places that have the photo machines.
The adoption was hard on everyone, but please believe me that we only want what is best for D. He is a wonderful boy. You and I have never met, and never will, and that's probably for the best, but part of me wishes I could know you. I would love to ask you questions about when he was a baby, hear the funny things he did as a toddler. I wish I could ask you for his first baby picture, or any pictures when he was tiny. Those are parts of him that I'll never know. I wish I could tell him about the day he was born, what his first word was, or how darling he was when he took his first steps.
He calls you his Little Mommy - I guess I'm a lot taller than you from what he tells me. I don't discourage him from talking about you. You brought him into this world -regardless of what happened later, for that you deserve his respect, and mine. When he came to us, he already knew that you were in jail. He had questions about it, but I just told him that you had made some bad decisions. I don't want him to think of you as a bad person - I can't make it better than it is, but I can be as fair as possible. I know there are two sides to every story.
So thank you for bringing this boy that I love into this world. You have done something that I couldn't, and for that I thank you.
