It really is something that if it can be avoided it should be.

This is something that is never mentioned in adoption literature or by adoption counselors (in my limited experience). As the mother of a daughter who was considering adoption, I realized that if I did not provide the support that my daughter needed to parent I might be losing my only grandchild. My husband and I have 2 children. Our older son is married and he and his wife are not sure that they want children. Also, I have heard that many women who relinquish have problems getting pregnant after losing their child so my grandson could have been my daughter's only child had she relinquished.
This little guy who is, as I type, in my kitchen playing with his mummum might be our one and only grandbaby!! I shudder to think that we could have lost him forever.
