I just wanted to see how segregated these two really are. I had never knew much about open adoption until I found this site and it has been very eye opening. It does seem to me though that the two seem very segregated, and I just want to know, aren't we all going through the same grieving processes. I know that with an open adoption bparents still have some sort of connection there. Even with that connection, I would think that there is at least some form of loss or grief. I am not jealous, by no means, even if I had known before of open adoption, I don't think I would have been able to have dealt with seeing my bchild after the papers were signed. My main question is just this, in the end when the papers are signed, aren't we all still in need of support as BIRTHPARENTS?
