Oceans, I can answer the "temporary" problem question for myself, in my own situtation.
I placed my First son at the age of 19. My reasons for placing were temporary reasons, lack of money, lack of a spouse, lack of support. In less than 2 years, I had a husband, tons of support, and we were financially ok. I went on to parent my second child when my first son was only 2 years old. SO, in my case, had someone, anyone, told me that there were resources out there to help me, that I could be a single mom at 19 and do it, chances are I wouldn't have placed. There are other things that likely would have kept me from placing as well, but I was told that I was doing what was best for my child, that he deserved a good life with people who could provide for him and love him. I must say, I am sure his parents love him, but I love him today just as I did then, I could have provided him a good life, as I have 4 parented children now who would tell you that, what would have been best for him would have been his First mom having been COMPLETELY informed of her rights and resources, but I wasn't.
