My heart goes out to you, and I can identify with your pain. I, too, am pregnant and in the position where adoption seems to be the best option, except I am 32 and due to have the baby in six weeks. I'm also not in the position to financially care for a child myself right now, and lack the support and involvement of the baby's father.
I am already grieving the loss of the baby that I feel moving inside me, and can only imagine the great loss and sadness I will feel on the actual day that I turn the baby over to her new parents. I keep telling myself that this is the most loving and responsible thing that I can do for my baby at this point, but the pain and sadness remain.
I think that reaching out to others as you are doing is so helpful in the healing process. I know that sharing my grief with other Moms who have experienced the adoption process has helped me a lot.
You and your baby will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please email me anytime you need to chat: [/email]nnigrini@yahoo.com
Hugs,
Niki
