Kai555 - I don't see you as an outcast. Every situation is very different, and all the players are very different in each situation. Your parents, I'm sure, still grieve at all that has happened. Their actions unfortunately did not reflect thinking of your remaining with them when they occurred. I am certain they were just as grief stricken to have you removed from them as if it were their decision.
Sara_Rose - I don't see how a woman can carry a child and give birth to that child and not have feelings for that child. Perhaps your mother has been in denial over her situation or has repressed it for so long so as to not deal with the fact that "she gave up a child." It is unfortunate all reunions don't work out for the benefit of each party involved.
From what I have read, many birthmoms had pressure or very little assistance to parent their children. I think anyone that lends that kind of assistance is a gem. I wish to have had it in my situation. I have many regrets that my son was raised by others and he thinks from what I have gathered, that I had to "give him up because I was young." Some of that may be true, but I did not "give him up." I had no support because I was young and unmarried, but I did not "give him up".
Thanks for your post, I'd love to share it with my son.
