This article totally changed my perspective. As an adoptive mother-to-be, we are nearing the end of our homestudy. I have already had a difficult time seperating my feelings-- joy that we will be parents, but sadness for the birthmother who will share their child with us. We went through two very difficult pregnancy losses and I think about how sad I was through that, and much harder it must be to hand a child over to someone else. The article made me feel like its ok-- that my guilt and sadness is now what the birthmother wants and more importantly not what she or the baby needs.
So glad things turned out well for you Dawn.
