DLouis,
I agree with you about the "forced and coerced" bmom thing... in fact, I chewed somebody out this morning on the "So angry I could vomit" thread for stating that "all birthmothers are forced, coerced, and lied to". It's garbage, we all know it, and it hurts the credibility of all bmoms when people insist on making such statements.
But, "happy"?
No. I cannot accept that any mother could be happy about going through such a thing... it's wretched. I won't argue further; I care about both you and Sally, but on this one issue, we'll just have to agree to disagree. We're each looking at it from such different perspectives, it might be impossible for us to see eye to eye in this case.
Respectfully, ~ Shar
