I refuse to watch this show. Just the name which all ready sets the tone for the misconception that is all ready out there about birth/first moms. Just reading the little bit that I have ugh :(

I am an adoptive mom and my advice is that you should parent as long as you want to after you have your baby. Will this make the adoptive parents anxious and worried? yes, it will, but that isn't your problem. I do think it would be very beneficial for you and them for you to tell them this now, so that this is known and there are not bad feelings about it later after you have the baby. They...

Yes, they have a committee and we've asked that they reconsider their decision and gave them a lengthy letter as to why we believe they retain her, but they have not changed their decision and their response was that due to all the changes Ariana has expirienced this past year, they believe it would be in her benefit to pass her on and that it would do more harm than good to retain her. There are...

Sherree, I don't mean this disrespectfully, but... "abducted"? The word implies a number of things, first that your birth family wanted, looked for, was prevented from keeping you *by a person or persons with criminal intent*.

I went back through this thread and noticed several questions that I didn't see answered. Has anyone been able to get information from St. John's Hospital? My adoption certificate says I was adopted out of White Plains, but I know that was/is the county seat. Unlike so many, apparently, I was adopted by people in Delaware. I was born Feb. 27, 1938 but didn't move to a "foster"...

I am praying for you all! She deserves you and you deserve her!! Keep us updated, please! (I love that her middle name is Faith.)

i have not been in your place. it must be very, very difficult. please know that i am not being flippant. my family has definite issues of OCD--some more than others. sometimes it takes a little pharmaceutical assistance to let go of the obsessions that creep in. sometimes a little talk therapy will work. sometimes a sheer act of will and a lot of prayer do the trick. but like i...

Our agency has several such situations, including adoptive. I guess I just don't see it any differently. Part of that is because it is also fairly common in our religion. I'm just used to seeing it. But of course, we CC women get plenty of questions, such as a daycare provider, also. Anyway, I do think it would be different, especially in an adoptive situation. Just like caucasion parents...
