[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the forums, texts, emails, etc. is that it is impossible to fully understand the writer's meaning without seeing body language, voice inflection, tone, etc. I don't think that any of us can get inside OPs head and "know" with the certainty that many are suggesting that she has not concern for the thoughts of feelings of her biological daughter. "Going to college" does not necessarily equate to being an artful writer. It is quite dangerous to assume that you know someone's intent or fully understand what is going on in their mind. [b] I have to question, whether a substantial amount of the vitriol is coming from women who are judging the OP for have made the choice to place her child for adoption because they cannot imagine having made that choice themselves. [/b] As the saying goes, "Walk a mile in her shoes....." For your daughter's sake, OP I hope you ignore all of the nasty posters and give your daughter a chance to meet you if she so choses. [/quote] I've been thinking this as well. Possibly because women who have chosen or would choose abortion feel somehow judged or threatened by women who choose life and adoption for their babies. The act of placing a child for adoption is ultimately an act of love. Since humans are complicated creatures, there may also be fear, or desperation, or denial, or naïveté, or a million other emotions or thoughts at work, but there still comes the moment of goodbye, And any woman who is brave enough to face that moment for the sake of giving her child the gift of life deserves deference and compassion.[/quote] I have been wondering about this angle as well.
