Did you go on to have other children after relinquishing?
After I relinquished my son I made a conscious decision not to have children nor was I going to get married? Twelve years later I did change my mind about marriage and once my dh knew the reasons why I felt the way I did we talked seriously about me not wanting children. My walls/fears were broken down with time but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be due to fertility issues although there is a slim chance it could still happen.

Hi Pip. I didn't have any more children for a very long time. I was on the pill for the duration of my first marriage. I waited 14 years after relinquishment to have my next child, then the last came a year and a half after that. I'm done now! Tammi

After I relinquished my son. Two years later, I had a lil girl. Which was relinquished also. I became a step mom a few years after I relinquished my youngest daughter.
I wonder, just how many more children I would of been blessed with if I never had my tubes tied? (doctor's choice, life threating situation.) |

I did not have any more children, but I really did want to. Part of it is me, according to the Dr. it is unprocessed guilt, and part of it is my husband. He has been on many meds due to MS. We adopted last June and it has us both thinking about going above and beyond to conceive. We are really not too sure how much we really would need to do to get pregnant.
I know for the longest time I felt like I would be betraying my daughter if I did have more kids. I have come to terms with that now. Jenn

I placed two children I had while I was in college. Several yaers later I married and then when we went to conceive, I didn't ovulate! It was a rather unpleasant shock to not be able to get pregnant when I wanted to. My Dr. diagnosed PCOS and after a year and changing my diet to
a lower carb one (for insulin resistance), and doing acupuncture and getting into therapy, etc. I did conceive and I now have two wonderful little boys. Interesting enough I had no truoble getting prenant with #4 -in fact, he was something of an "oops". So 2 placed and 2 raising ![]() Gigimom |

After relinquishing my daughter I met my wonderful husband and we married. Two years and two months after relinquishing I had my first son. Then a year later I had my second son and my third son was born seven years later. Although I did have three sons but while I was raising them I always thought what it would have been like to raise my daughter along side them.

Like Carolyn, I voted for my bmom. A few years after I was born, she got married and had my 3 half siblings, all of whom she raised. I've met my half sister before, and am in contact with one of my half brothers as well.

I went on to have a beautiful son and daughter, son five years after bdaughter, then three surgeries, two miscarriages, and then daughter. I didn't want to actually, I thought I didn't deserve it, wasn't worthy, it would be disrespectful to my bdaughter. But it wasn't fair to my wonderful husband, and in the end it wouldn't have been fair to any of us. I too have a medical condition. Doc told me after 25 it was going to be pretty tough if not impossible to have kids, it was pretty tough, but we got there. I am overly protective and always have been. I work at home so I'm always there for them, something that was very important to me, volunteering, going on field trips, home when their sick. I guess I'm still trying to make up for not being there for my bdaughter.
