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.

    A beautiful and eye-opening story

    This is a moving story. In the beginning I felt such sadness for Jessica, and for the author's guilt, but by the end I was thinking how lucky Madison is. She has a mom who embraces her fully, including her birth mom and family. She will never have to wonder where she is from, or feel like a part of her heritage is a mystery. And she has love coming at her from everywhere. Thanks for sharing this. I loved reading it.

    —Jody Mace
