the visit.....

ok, so the annual birth mother visit is over.......every year we declare that we will not allow such a long visit the next time.......and we always forget to set the timeframe before they arrive........the buildup/visit/letdown is always the same.......and we are bracing for the aftermath.......and while we understand that knowing the whereabouts of birth folks is important.......we also have to live through the particulars.......
