Getting through this time

I don't know the details of your story, but if there is any way possible for you to parent your child, I would suggest you do so. I am 36 1/2 years post placement and am a highly accomplished person who has gone on to parent three other children. I'm also 16 years into reuinion with my placed child. However, the pain of relinquishment (mine involuntary; I was forced by my parents and supported by the doctor and the agency) has never become bearable. I live with it every day of my life.
