I am not sure the reason but I must say I feel my daughters life will be happy and better then if she would have been put into a foster home as her BMom was unable to case for her. I was lucky I was in the delivery room (she is almost three months now) and have had my daughter since day one. I do intend to let her know she was adopted. Just wanted to introduce myself. I will check back to read up and try to catch up.

Welcome to the boards!! Yes, there are some bitter folks who frequent these boards, but there are a lot more of us who are here to talk about adoption and support each other. Congratulations on adopting your daughter!! My son is 6-1/2 months old, so I am still definitely in the "honeymoon" stage. I hope it lasts forever. Being a mommy is the BEST!!

She brought a child into this world without thinking and thank God this family is willing to give this child a loving home. All this poor woman said was that she felt the baby would have been better off in a foster home than with the birth mother. Do you know the birth mother ? No I don't think so. I am sure that if this adoptive mother says the baby would have been better off , it would have been. She was not attacking every birth mother out there. There are all kinds of reasons for things that happen in our lives and this baby is where it is safe. Look at your heart before you attack others.
