Adoption Support Group
Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. Whether you are looking to adopt, putting your child up for adoption, parenting an adopted child, or just thinking about it, this is the place to discuss.
i'm new to group but not that new to subject and feelings. my story is in sept. 2003 i put my new born up for adoption.at the time i felt i couldn't take care of her the way i thought she should be takien care of. i dont regret my decision, but i live with tremendous guilt.it was the hardest thing of my life. but i see thru pictures and letters(open adoption) she's thriving. The couple that adopted her are wonderful and i see they give her what i couldn't financially. her bday is 9 days after mine, so 5 years old this year.
Have you thought about writing a letter to her and pouring out your soul to her? Giving it to her when she is old enough to understand more of all the why's will help her to better accept being adopted. Tell her of your love and all the reasons that you let her be adopted will become a very priceless gift that you can give to her.
Instead, the stupid government picked who'd raise me and they picked the worst person ever. He doesn't abuse me or anything, but he completely ignores me.
I guess all us BMums have felt the guilt you are feeling BUT you have given your baby a fantastic start to life (which luckily you can see from the pics/letters etc. I hope you get the support you need here, I know it has helped me alot to read other peoples stories and know I am not alone.
