He was never mean or aggressive but I had the wind taken out of my sails from the first adoption so it didn't take much.

i am curious what you mean by this... was it that you felt the first adoption was "right".. or was the first adoption so awful, and left you so decimated, that you didn't have the self-confidence to believe you could actually raise this baby?

I think we have to be careful not to put everyone in the same group.

i think this is why i am asking this question.... i think too many people lump "birthmothers" into the same category... and i do not believe it is a good thing... i think there is a wide range of women who have sought adoption as a solution to an unplanned pregnancy.... i am interested in all those experiences... and how they differ....
and i am wondering if the same type of language persuades all women towards placing... or if women in different situations are more susceptible to specific kinds of pressure....
i suppose i would like to recognize the aspects of our culture that pressure women into adoption... or at least make some of us view that as our only option... understand?
