.... no news. We haven't heard from K (A's first mom) since placement day. I'm not entirely surprised, but I guess I was hoping that we would hear from her. We do not have a way to contact her directly, though she does have our phone numbers, and has called us once. She called over the weekend between when we first met her and placement day. We have been in contact with K's social worker several times in the last month and a half, so we do have some news about K, just no news directly from her. And it's been good news, which makes us happy.
This past week, I sent K's social worker a bunch of pictures along with a letter. In the letter I told K that we would be happy to hear from her as soon and as often as she feels comfortable. In my mind, I always pictured us having our first meeting with K post-placement sometime before December. We will be out of town for almost all of November between a visit to Chile and Thanksgiving, so really that would mean either October or December. There's no real reason for this timing I've had in my mind other than that I think it would be good to not wait too long, to help us build our relationship.
Anyway, K's been on my mind a lot. She has so much going on right now, beyond the placement of A, and I am sending all of my positive thoughts her way, hoping that she has all the support she needs and is coping the best that she can.

hope she comes around at some point. every woman must handle it so differently, but those first few months have to be so hard. I hope she has some support.
I hope she's getting the support she needs. At least by being in touch with her social worker, K knows that you are thinking about her. Hopefully you'll hear from her soon.
