I think I might have missed a few key pieces at the beginning due to audio (and my husband watching Lost at high decibels a floor below me). <br /><br />I'm glad I was able to watch this. I loved so many of your descriptions of open adoption and your honesty. This was great. I finally was able to watch this and you are so well-spoken.

First, great job! Second, where was all the wine swilling? Third, where did you find that mug that's as big as your head? Fourth, that wasn't exactly what I would call a shout out to TOOTPU - it was more like smack talk, and I will be ducking my head and watching for missiles overhead, as I am almost directly between you Colobloggers and TOOTPU!<br /><br />One question that nobody asked, which is one I wonder about - did you have to set specific boundaries with Crystal or did things flow naturally? My sister (adoptive parent (international, so, closed) and pediatric dentist) encountered a situation where first mom and adoptive mom were arguing over type of care. I would think that would be a land mine area, in which nice people who don't like conflict could be overwhelmed in a situation where they should have the final say. What are your thoughts?<br /><br />Also, nice Travolta impression. My daughter will probably be entertaining her daycare classmates with Gives You Hell by the All American Rejects, since Daddy likes to play that on YouTube frequently. Makes "I need a man" seem almost normal. So, I have a couple comments. First, great job! Second, where was all the wine swilling? Third, where did you find that mug that’s as big as your head?
