I think many adoptive parents feel lots of guilt at times. I went to catholic school for 16 years so I am best friends with guilt...my mom has a book on her nightstand called ''why guilt is good''!!I just saw someone post that they felt guilty about adopting when so many others are so sadly in the trenches.I don't think it is any less so in a domestic adoption. I am meeting with dd's birth family today and I feel guilty sometimes about ''taking her away'' from them. I feel guilty when her bmom talks about her grief.as someone posted in the other thread, guilt is sort of an unproductive emotion (but I struggle with it nonetheless). very interesting thread!
