[QUOTE="joders, post: 603822, member: 16663"] thank you guys, I appreciate all the advice. We decided to take a chance over the weekend and allow her phone call. my husband was very clear with her that it was NOT to be a negative call otherwise it would be ended, the call was also on speaker phone so we could make sure everything was okay. She was fine with it, I'm not sure she will call again as she has another baby on the way and the kids didn't show the emotion I think she was hoping for. the 5 year old is a very chatty little girl now but with her mom it was "yup, yup, yup, is my time up yet?". the little boy was chatty, but the same kind of chatty he is with everyone, there was no "I miss you"'s, or "I love you"'s unless the mother said them first, and there were no "when will I see you again"'s which was good because I was worried she would make false promises. we are being warned to watch for delayed reaction in my stepson, but most therapists believe the 5 year old has pretty much cut that bond because when she talks about "mom and dad" now she refers to me and my husband.
