[quote=Anonymous]OP, you haven't asked for advice, but my birth mother went through the same thing you did (she placed me) and I have a friend who raised a child she gave birth to at 14. Both women have deep regrets about those decisions and both struggle to come to terms with it. There is no choice in this situation that would not have left you questioning.

However, my personal belief, knowing them both, is that my b-mom made the better decision (even though she did it under duress and her parents forced her) for both her and for me. I realize we're all different and that different people can have different outcomes from the same circumstances, so there's that to consider. But, my personal experience with watching people who are close to me go through this, is that adoption was better for all involved. There are women on this board who had their kids very young and think it was great, but that is not what I have seen.

I hope you are seeing a therapist to talk about what happened and your feelings. [/quote]
