[quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many of the spiteful comments here are actually made by those who are a part of the adoption triangle. I am an adoptive mom and I encourage you to reach out to your birth daughter. No one knows what her response may be now or in the future, but I think if you are honest with her about your reasons for placing her for adoption, not responding to her initial request for contact and your reasons for contacting her know you will be doing a loving and kind thing. I have talked to my daughter about her adoption and the possible scenarios/outcomes when she is one day old enough to begin her search. I think that she will be ready for however her life unfolds. (She has expressed a desire to meet her birth mom some day.) As so beautifully stated by the adult adoptee, not everyone feels the same about being placed for adoption and I think that everyone on this board should show some compassion for the OP. I think she is trying to do the what she feels is the right thing and your negative and cruel comments are unnecessary and certainly are not helpful. If OP was my daughters birth mother, I would want her to make the contact.[/quote]
