Thanks for the insight. Question: would most of you prefer that people not comment at all when you mention that you placed your child up for adoption (as opposed to sticking their feet in their mouths by saying some of the stuff posted here)?

And another question about the "we think it would be too hard for you to see her" comment. Do amom's actually say that to birthmoms after agreeing to an open adoption?? That would be absolutely crushing to me if someone agreed to let me see my birthchild and decided against it afterward.
