I agree with you completely, SingleMama2B. Anyone who can provide a nurturing home to a child should be encouraged and supported! Unfortunately, many unwed mothers in the US are led to believe that they are not worthy to raise their children because they are single. After they sign their babies over to someone else to raise (often to couples who as likely to divorce as anyone else), they are left to deal with their pain, usually alone. So please don't take the comments from the orginal poster as an attack on single parents. I see it more as an effort to work through the pain of relinquishment which deserves sympathy and understanding. My guess is that she is condemming single parents because that is likely how she was pursuaded to relinquish her son.
So I end with my first statement - Anyone who can provide a nurturing home to a child should be encouraged and supported!
Cheers to you and your daughter!
Happy G'Ma
