I must agree with the LC (and beautifully said, Jack).  What a
terrific gift this mom gave her baby!  I think it must also help her
with a sort of closure and a wonderful, warm memory of the life she
carried.  As an adoptee, I wonder how my mother thinks of me.  Is it
with fondness for the few precious moments we might have spent
together?  I hope so.  I hope this mom holds on to this memory of her
and her baby, not to make it more painful but to make her sacrifice
even more special.

PS.I wonder what kind of grief counseling background the "Official"
has.
