[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving a child up for adoption is a very hard thing to do. I know because I did and when I did so, it was with the thought that this person was out of my life forever. Adoptees, I understand your curiosity, but women do not give up their children like we give away kittens. There is an internal wound that is deeper than any of you can imagine. We give up our children because we cannot, or do not have the means to, care for them. Respect this and leave us alone.[/quote] Also, the mom is British. Give her time. She is overwhelmed by apologies. In other language, she's transferring all of the guilt onto you and imagining you're upset with her despite her clearly-stated delight at having located you. Space and patience. Therapy for DH would be a very good idea, ideally with a British therapist who would understand some of the cultural communication issues at work. [/quote]
