I do understand people's need to vent, I suppose because I'm on this board so much it get's to me over time reading threads titled "Birthmom" only to read about a drug/alcohol dependent woman who neglects or abused her kids.
You're right Jenna, it makes me feel sub-par or much less than. I too have noticed that birthmothers are often dismissed in other forums just for the simple fact that we are birthmoms.
It's really frustrating
