I struggled long and hard with many tears before deciding to give Niko to my good friends. But ever since they've had him, I've been 100% overjoyed at how it all worked out. I love reading their updates, how attentive they are to him, seeing his happy pics, and reading about all his extended family fighting to shower affections on him. The dad is so happy to have a little computer geek to raise, and the mom is so thrilled with her new baby boy, that daddy is going to get sn...ipped "just in case" so they can focus all their attention on Niko 100%. They're not even changing his name! (just the last name) Catty and Devin will still be his brother and sister, he'll have two moms (and two dads, but one from afar) who love him, and his family has friended me on Facebook, so instead of feeling loss, I feel like we've expanded our family, and I'm so very blessed that my little boy has everything I ever wanted for him. We're even planning meetups every year so we can stay close. Of course I never imagined things ending up like this when I planned to have him, but once I admitted I was in over my head, I was grateful for this beautiful solution that works out so well for everyone. And I thank all of you for your support which I very much needed so I could appreciate all the positives that came out of a challenging situation. XOXOX
