I understand

I understand, thanks for your post. There are a lot of people who do not understand how I could have chosen adoption after already having one child. The reason why I chose adoption for my birth daughter is because I could not see another child being hurt the way my son was. My family did not hurt him but I did. There were times when he was growing up that he asked why I did not place him. It hurt but he knew she was being cared for financially and emotionally and he was not. He refuses to talk about those years but some of the decisions he makes now show me that he has not forgotten. It seems sometimes to be a double edged sword as a mother and a birth mother.
