Open adoption, broken heart

I knew it would be hard for my daughter's birth mother to give her up. I just didn't expect to feel so guilty for taking her.

    beautiful story

    But I have to wonder how much race played a factor in raising the child? It's just makes me wonder with the country club, and all. Not that you have to be rich to go there, but maybe the parents thought it would be to hard to raise a child at 19, and have to deal with the race issue. All and all, I have to say the open adoption does not seem like such a good idea. It's like leaving your kid with a live in nanny year round, and showing up once in awhile to see how they're doing.
