hey there, here's my take - bromanchik - I too, as a bmom have recently "come out" to my raised children and they comment on how much I "preached" be careful, be smart, and they didn't get it. Now that my eldest is in university and youngest is studying away, they have seen "love from both sides now" and both have commented on how right I was - my youngest has a friend in her class who had a choice to make and did not choose adoption. She is mortified and doesn't know if they can be friends anymore, based on other people's comments. My response - has she changed? has your friendship with each other changed? Think of me, would you leave me because someone else said it was right?NO, so get over yourself. IF all I ever learned from this whole adoption experience - I am no better or worse than anyone else - no matter how they would want me to feel. Everyone deserves love and support no matter what, there is too much judging and God knows, I try not to do so, Juno was a good movie, but has to be taken in context - Hollywood's interpretation of an unexpected pregnancy and how to make it a "feel good" movie. Yes, we all want the same outcome (I don't want to ruin the movie) but is it realistic. Maybe, maybe not but, at the very least it has made me feel not so much a pariah given the bmom is seen in a healthy light.
