Yes, we do!! Growing up I would often think about my bmom and would think about how placing me was what she had to do, and that I hoped that it allowed her to have opportunities that she wouldn't have had. I can remember thinking things on those lines at a VERY young age (elementary school). Nobody "fed" me those lines..I was always just a deep thinker. As a matter of fact, I had made her, in my mind, into a successful person who would go on to achieve much. I wanted her to be successful, have more children, and live a full life. It would have torn me up to have her on the brink of suicide. I knew she'd have pain, but I didn't want her destroyed by not having me in her life. Does that make sense!? (these were my childhood thoughts)
I have more to add, but I HAVE to go pick my mom and grandma up to go to my aunts retirement party...be back with more thoughts later...lol
