[quote=Anonymous]I'm a birth mother who's posted on DCUM threads on the topic before. Open adoption, & child (now 20s) was/is very happy with bio family, is stable, married, didn't resent or question being adopted. Now, her mom's a therapist & was very open/supportive. This is all anecdotal, of course, but I wanted to give you a positive story (which is just as valid as the negative ones folks are sending your way). I will say that relinquishing a child is not without pain -- but for me, it really was my choice as the era of closed adoptions wasn't still operative. I am in touch with this adult child & she knows my younger children. Best of luck with your parenting journey, OP -- I know that the pain I endured in placing a child for adoption is matched on the other side by the pain/loss of infertility for many adoptive moms. However you find your family, I wish you the best.[/quote]
