Everything was legal about the adoption. We went through a women's center who then directed Anna to several adoption agencies, and she chose one. She attended several counseling sessions to ensure that the adoption was what she wanted to do. I understand that you're trying to point out the legal end and that I should have included this point: there is no way I could have adopted this child if there had been any manipulation or coersion on my part. Hubby and I stated time and time again in front of the adoption counselors that we would still be her family/support her should she choose not to go through with the adoption.
Your comment makes me feel like I did something wrong.
Futher, it was in getting to know her--when she came to live with us--that we learned of her dreams to have an education and a real career. Those were areas we could help her with because we're teachers.
