I'm glad you come here to read. We really aren't out to hurt adoptive parents though. We really just need a place to express our truths.

Absolutely, I totally agree with you. In fact, I have never seen it, which is why I was surprised and wanted to clarify. As I've said, both my boys are adopted internationally so I used to know very little about a birthmothers perspective. I am so happy to have learned so much recently, and of course birth moms should be able to vent frustrations and hurts.

In the past I have stumbled across some very "anti-adoption" websites and they really threw me for a loop. And, again, for my own emotional health, decided I need to steer VERY clear from these sites. So, again, I just wanted to clarify how this post was intended. If it was mocking etc, I just wanted to know so I could stay away from that sort of negativeness.
