I regretted very much my circumstances, but not my decision. I still feel it was the right one at the time, but so often I've wished that those circumstances were different

Hey Peachy!!
This is so well put. That's exactly how I've felt so often. I do wish circumstances had been different but they simply weren't.
Sometimes, I feel it's hard for people like us; people who intrinsically know we made the best choice possible at the time we made it. It feels to me as if we're caught between the militant pro-adoption & anti-adoption movements. Everybody wants to give people room; except for us.
If we say we made the right choice, the "anti's" accuse us of feeding the machine - or worse. The "pros" hold us up as proof of the greatness of adoption without considering that maybe we don't want to be a part of either argument. That maybe choices are simpler than the politics that surrounds them.
I am not a political statement. I was a young girl trying to rectify a damaged life; damaged by circumstances far beyond my control.
But few see that. You, me, people like us......we're stuck there, between 2 screaming sides and nobody's really listening.
That's how it feels.
