I’m angry because I not only signed away rights to the baby when I signed TPR, I also signed away my rights to myself. No one warned me about this! If the a-parents told me not to call, I’d have to respect that because they are baby’s parents. When I ask them not to call (they can text or email) I am ignored. If I push, I am given a guilt trip and told I must not care about baby.

I’m angry because everyone thinks less of me for placing. They think I took the easy path. Abortion would have been easy. Parenting would have been a little harder than abortion but compared to the path I’m walking now, parenting would have been easy. I don’t feel either choice would have been best; the best path isn’t always the easy one.
