Monica, I think the plans you mentioned above are great ideas and will help immensely. I think I'd play up how much fun it to visit, how much you look forward to seeing her momma or grandma, etc. with no mention of her having to "GO" live any where else. Doesn't that sound kinda scarey to you? You are GOING away. Makes it sound like she's done something wrong and perhaps that's how she feels...she's done something wrong and you're sending her away.....sigh, I hope she doesn't really feel that way. Any way, play up the fun in visits, do something crafty the week before for momma and take it or make cookies, something she thinks is fun and tell her... oh, how pleased and surprised momma will be.
