Well, our trip to Charleston went off without a hitch, and along the way the girls finally got to meet their father. This was a very nerve-racking and sensitive situation. I had tossed and turned for nights approaching this scenario, and was extrememly paranoid. Not only had it been months since I had seen him, but the girls never had, and I didn't know how they(or I) would react. So many questions arose in my mind: Do I really want them to have a relationship with him? How will he react to seeing his daughters? Could he ever love them since he had never met them? Do I file for Child Support once they have met? Will they be able to have a relationship with their baby brother? All these questions, and very few would be answered in the short period of time we had to stay in Charleston.
The meeting actually went very well. Shaun and his mother came over and the babies seemed to have a great time with them. We took a bunch of photos and had good conversation. He even showed us some videos of their baby brother Finn, who so closely resembles Abbie it is scary! Of course there are still a lot of kinks to work out, but hopefully with time they can all be resolved. I feel positive about the future and hope that Abbie and Lilli's relationship with their dad will grow.
