My birthmom did not remember my birthday and I was very upset initially. She could only remember "it was winter". My b-day is Dec. 10th and every year I had the fantasy that she was thinking about me on that day. Apparently not!

I agree that it is a result of trauma. She did admit that she was in a depression for several months after relinquishing me. I don't think anyone gives up their child and walks away unscathed. She also told me it was the hardest thing she ever did. This gave me some comfort, although I truly believe i was an innocent party and that what she decided really has no bearing on me as a person.
