I am just curious: what is your stance on birth parents who honestly don't want to keep their infant? I had a friend make an open adoption placement. She was someone who had always known she didn't want to be a mother. She had originally decided to have an abortion when she found out she was pregnant, but changed her mind and decided to carry the baby to term and then find adoptive parents. I guess I just wanted to know because it sounds like you are 100% against domestic infant adoption, but I can honestly say that this is what my friend wanted, and to this day she feels she made the right choice.<br /><br />I am so so sorry for your loss. I pray that one day you will be reunited with your precious daughter. I am glad you have realized that the things you were told at 18 were lies, and that you are worth so much more than any of those people said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
