I can tell you as a teen who relinquished that shortly after I placed I was running off with my friends to go enjoy a sunshiney day like nothing else mattered.
That DID NOT mean I did not care about my DD. I was still in brave strong girl who could handle this all on her own mode. I would not let anyone see the pain I was in. I was in that mode for about 12 years. Since the movie does not extend beyond immediate placement, it's sort of hard to say whether or not this fictional character was unaffected by her placement.
I saw a lot of me and my feelings in Juno. (tho not as blunt and sarcstic) I'm not going to say anyone's opinions on this movie are right or wrong, adoption hits all of us differently, and I personally liked the movie a lot and was able to see it for what it was, but I don't like being told that because I went on with my life as a carefree "normal" teen on the outside that it meant I forgot all about my child. It's impossible to forget.
