I'm not sure what you mean by "coped" with "keeping the child." Our parented sons were planned so it wasn't really ever an issue. We were 100% ready and excited to become parents.

Being a birth mother, however, has shaded how I parent. I am extra cautious with my children in certain ways. I have a tendency to hover because I am in constant fear that someone/something will take them away from me. I am also beyond scared that if I make a mistake while parenting in public, someone will call CPS on me and my children will be removed. This, of course, is a fear 100% based on relinquishment and the insecurities that lead to my daughter's adoption as I am an amazing mother.
