Renda -- I am not offended at all. As for myself, I KNOW I couldn't have done an open adoption. It was supposed to be semi-open, with pics each year, but the amom had a different agenda.
I do think it is still too early to really understand the longterm results of open adoptions, as the majority of children involved in them are still not grown. And...it is impossible to compare apples and oranges when you have only tasted one. If someone was raised in a closed adoption, how can they possibly decide open adoption is not for them? One can be satisified with their life, but it doesn't mean another way is not also satisfying. But, the entire conversation is kicking a dead horse, in my opinion.
Frankly, I don't see that AJ has had it "bad" here at all. What has been offered are simply different opinions...she may take, or leave, whatever she chooses, as only AJ can make that final choice. No personal attack has been made against her character, nor should it be.
Supporting one another is not always in the form of "atta girls," but that doesn't mean it is not support.
