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 gave my daughter up 15 1/2 years ago, and it was a open adoption, and I could see her write to her and talk to her when ever I wanted as long as she was up to it. However six months ago, she told me that she was secretly cutting herself and I had to tell her parents. Then she started calling me all teh time, and then asked if she could move in with me. I told her she had to find out what her rights were, because I didn't have any, and within a month she was gone. I feel like I have failed her. There are days that I just don't want to do any thing, but I have a 2year old who needs me. I don't know what to do, my husband doesn't understand, the pain. I hurt fromthe inside out and it won't go away.
I never got help dealing with it, and I did what I had to do to get through highschool. Most of the time I am okay, but since about April I hurt and cry more and more.

What do you mean when you say that she was gone? Either way....you did the right thing. She was hurting herself and you had to tell her parents. You did what was right for HER at your expense...God Bless you for that..it must have been very difficult.

What I meant was that she was sent off to the boarding school, I found out from small town gossip and I live 4 hours away. SO I called them and her Mom told me that they sent her away because she wanted out. I can't help but feeling that they did that because they found out she wanted to move in with me and my family.

Or maybe they sent her there so she can get help. The school may have services for her. If she's cutting she has a serious problem. Moving in with someone else isn't going to help her.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
