I always respond that, in my son's case, the birthfather was no longer in the picture, and the birthmother loved him enough to want him to grow up in a two-parent home. I also say that she loved him enough to give him life and to give him what she believed was best for him DESPITE the personal emotional cost to herself. I wish adoptive parents would be more open about answering questions about adoption. I think it is healthiest for the child.
