I felt the same way! My advice is to not get discouraged. You can only be the best mom you can be -- to an adopted or bio child -- and hope that everything turns out okay! Keep in mind also that one birthmom/adoptee/a-parent's story will not necessarily be yours. Many b-mom's and adoptees who have a negative view of adoption came out of the closed era and have not had the contact children in an open relationship will enjoy.
Your child may have a lot of questions about his or her adoption or may not. Your child may be dissatisfied with his or her life or may be perfectly happy. Your child's b-mom may later regret her decision or might always be glad that you are family. There is nothing you can do about this except be as ethical and understanding as possible right now. Good luck!
