Please remember to qualify things in the singular light of your experience. I felt an instant connection and bond to all my children from the moment I knew I was pregnant. They were all so very different in utero and their personalities and temperaments carried over. And I did know them.

If there were no feelings of love and bonding it would not be difficult for the new mom to part with her baby.
