Yet another 80s bmom!
I couldn't believe open adoption when I finally heard of it ... was writing a paper for a class 10 yrs after my placing .. interviewed a girl thru an agency who got to PICK the aparents, MEET them, VISIT afterward ... I was so shocked!! I thought if I could have just had a picture and a letter once a year, I would have been so grateful.
And I, too, have a few regrets about my daughter's placement ... her aparents are nice people, but I sure could wish they had dealt with some problems she had growing up better. Of course, who knows how I would have dealt with them, I sure wasn't ready to be raising a child @17. But I sometimes wonder if I had been able to CHOOSE the parents, would I have chosen better?
Ah, hindsight is a beautiful but fruitless thing!
