I read this article a day or two ago and have thought more about it since then. I (as many of you know) struggled with attachment for over a year after our return home...I did contact my agency and one of the best things they did for me (more than one person there) was to say that it was normal, I was normal. There is no "right" way to handle an adoption. I was glad to see some slight amount of compassion in the writing for the mother. What she did in the end was, quite obviously, wrong and hard to stomach...but what she lived through (it seems she was very alone), was impossible for others to understand. If she had reached out to the right people for help, the end story could be so different.
I also think the lady that runs the camp seems like a saint!
