Samonster-
I was 19 when I placed my dd and now she is 22 and I have recently reunited with her. I still am not at total peace. I say if you have doubts you need to look into the alternative--which is parenting. You need to find out what resources are there for you and Opal. You need to do this for both of you. Just because you place a child does not mean that they will have a better life or guarantee a two parent home. When you finally see your daughters face you want to make sure that you did what you could to make the best decision for the both of you. Do not let a temporary problem of finances make a life changing decision for you. If you think you can parent do it. You beat the drugs and alcohol!! You can do this too. You just have to look into yourself. If after investigating parenting and seeing Opal you still feel that adoption is your best choice for the both of you then you can make the decison with some peace. And remember you do NOT owe anyone your child!!!
