[quote=Anonymous]Imagine if you were this mother who had been date raped and decided to give up her baby for adoption. Now this 25 year old child approaches her. Does she reject him, which will cause the adult child to suffer rejection a second time? Does she tell him the truth, that his father was a rapist, which would introduce a new level of trauma. And who knows what her current husband knows. If he had no idea, and this comes to light, he might be uncomfortable that his wife hadn't shared this part of her past with him. I just hope the 25 yo can appreciate all the reasons this may not go the way he is hoping for and doesn't let it cause him to feel depressed, abandoned, rejected, etc. all over again.[/quote]
