Well, I appreciate everyone's responses. I actually called my bestfriend today after I posted these messages and talked to her. She was almost a bmom and so she was through all this on the other side. Her placement was stopped by the bdad and he has their son. (Who by the way is the most adorable little boy you've ever met.)


She actually argued the benefits of both closed and open adoption. She had chose a closed adoption because she didn't think she could handle seeing another woman raise her son. But she told me to relax and explore a semi open adoption and really look into the benefits of an open adoption.

Perhaps I just needed someone who's known me practically all my life to put things in perspective but I feel better about the possibilities now.

I will read the articles on that sight. Thanks so much.

Oh, DH is also looking to join up on this forum so you'll all likely be hearing more from our homefront.
