		<description>How long ago did this happen? You write like it was yesterday - I suppose it will always feel like it was. I don&#039;t really know what to say. This entry made me cry. It just sounds painful and beautiful and heart-wrenching and cathartic. It was wonderful for me to leave. I hope that when the aparents I&#039;ve chosen walk out of the hospital with my baby, I feel the same. I know it will be hard, I KNOW that, but I hope that there can be some peace as well, some knowledge that I made the right choice, that everything will be okay.

Do you have an open adoption? How open? (If you don&#039;t mind me asking.)</description>

		<description>That was a lovely follow-up... I was wondering how that &#039;last goodbye&#039; at the hospital would happen.</description>
