I'm not sure what you mean by "coped" with "keeping the child."
|
hhhmmm ... me neither....
i relinquished in 1986... and since then, had three bio daughters and have just finalized the adoption of the fourth...
my first child born 4 years after placing was simply joy... as were the next three... there wasn't any "coping"
i adore all four of my raised kids.... and never once thought i "shouldn't" have any kids because i placed the first...
i always knew i wanted to be a mother.... and even though i wasn't allowed to be one the first time around... it didn't stop me from having that dream come true...
was my parenting different? you betcha.... there's a whole thread here about that somewhere.... i will try to find it and post the link....
