[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this did happen to friends of mine, and it was devastating for them, but the family of young mother stepped in and was supported he decision, and child remained with birth family and in good hands.  Then, a month later agency called them out of the blue--a young woman decided to place newborn and asked agency to make the best decision, and they reached out to my friends, and for them it has felt like it was meant to be.

I hope it works out for you as well![/quote]

This sounds like the best possible scenario for infant adoption.  The first mother was given lots of family support.  Ah was able to take the baby home and have plenty of time after the delivery in order to begin to recover physically and emotionally in her own home without the potential adoptive parents’ presence exerting pressure on her.  (Not that anyone other than monsters would overtly pressure her,  but if she is a kind girl and they are good people, she of course will feel the weight of their hunger for a child.  And if they paid expenses for her, she will feel indebted to them as well.)

If she came to a choice to relinquish with time and space to do so freely and with sound mind, the temporary disappointment of the yearning adoptive parents is a small price to pay, albeit surely torturous to them in the short term.[/quote]
