Hello All!
I have been reading a lot of the posts in the adoptive parents threads because I am interested in what aparents think and feel concerning adoption. I am a birthmother in an open adoption. I personally would not want it any other way.
Linny, I agree with you totally. It does take certain people to make an open adoption work, it isn't for everyone. Adoption is a very personal thing. And for all these people to come here and talk about it takes a lot of understanding and compassion. My rather "new" experiences with adoption have been different than anyones elses, as true for everyone here.
Being a part of the adoption community, I read and think about every post. Then I can form my thoughts accordingly. I would never think of writing something hurtful, there is enough pain in the area of adoption. We need to come together for support, nothing more.
My heart goes out to each and every person involved in adoption, because at one time, we all have felt pain.
