I'm glad that these two seemed ready and able to move forward.  At least her father seems to have some remorse over what he did.  I, too, had a family member murdered back in 1981.  The man who murdered my brother is in prison in Californi and only pretends to have remorse.  I have never met him, but would like to someday just to put it all behind me.  At least this woman was able to reclaim a member of her family.  I cannot.  My mother died in 1976, my brother was killed in 1981, my other brother died as a result of alcoholism brought on by these two previous deaths, and I lost  my last sibling to cancer just 2 1/2 years ago.  I applaud this woman's bravery and compassion and ability to move onwards.

I can and do sympathize with the many women in this world, who for one reason or another, can't get pregnant.  The joys of motherhood are boundless.  Yet, pregnancy isn't all there is to being a mom.  I had a sister in law who for no medical reason, could not have children.  They went through agonizing test after test.  They did the next best thing - adopted children who really needed parents.  I think there is a God in Heaven who prepares people for adopting because of all the lonely children in need.  Why can't people just accept their life where they're at, and give a great home and all that love to children who never knew the love of a real mom and dad?  There are thousands, if not milliions, of children around the world who are suffering and dying because they were not wanted by their own biological parents.  There's more to parenting than the biology of it all.
