[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom told me I was an accident.  I still don't know why she didn't abort me.  No child should know they were unwanted since before they were born.

....and I had a good life and by all measures am successful. It's still painful.[/quote]
It doesn’t have to be painful; but you are framing it that way. I was obviously an accident because I was conceived while my dad was married to someone else! However, I don’t feel like I was unwanted - obviously my mom wanted me because she gave birth to me when she didn’t have to, and my father and siblings (even the older half siblings my father had with his first wife) love me too.

As for adoption, it’s true that most children who are placed in the US are born to women who are already mothers, but those mothers are not generally in stable, loving relationships with financial resources, like OP. OP may have fewer resources for the third than she’d like, but she probably won’t be choosing whether to feed the family or pay the rent.[/quote]

I think I love you. Your spirit and that of your mother and older siblings is refreshing. [/quote]
