I was one of the rare people who didn't need to make the decision twice. I was very confident that adoption was the right choice when I was pregnant. After the baby was born, I still knew it was the right decision and now, almost thirteen years later, I still feel that I made the right decision for me and my birthdaughter. (And pretty much everyone else who was/is involved and affected by the decision.)
That being said, even though I knew it was the right decision, it still hurt like crazy. I worked really hard to process my emotions and work through my grief.
If you feel like you are making the right decision, by all means, go for it. Make it work for you. At the same time, I encourage you to explore your feelings (with a counselor, if you are at all open to it) and do a lot of soul searching.
Good luck.
