francie169,

I am a birth mom that found out after reunion that my son's adoptive parents divorced when he was only 8 years old.

I was a little disappointed that he didn't get the benefit of a traditional home life and more financial stability. In the long run it wasn't nearly as important as finding out what a warm loving home his adoptive mother actually did provide.

Life comes with no guarantees. I believe his parents also adopted in hopes of saving a sinking marriage. People have babies for that same wrong reason, though.

I certainly would not be angry with someone who chose to raise my son as a single parent in a happy home instead of one with two parents no longer capable of showing love to each other (or worse).

Trish
