I think that situation might me the exception rather than the rule. I envy anyone who has had an open adoption. My son was born on mother's day 1985 and all the "colosed" adoption agency wanted from me was him.
It was the hardest thing that I will ever have to do but I did it because I love him so much and not because I did not want him.
Unlike the others you speak of, I have never been married and never had any more children. I am thirty five and it saddens me to think that I have given up the only child that I will ever bare.
I only want EVERYONE to be educated in adoption, the risks, the hurt, the lifelong sorrow or counseling that is needed and the knowing that you did what was best for the child. That is what is most important.
Please respond.
