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.

    Laurel - what the hell?

    Laurel you wrote: "And it only exists because of a shortage of (premium) adoptable babies for middled aged yuppies who were too ambivalent to decide on childbearing when they were of a reasonable age."

    I was 30 when I started trying to get pregnant. I was 35 when I adopted my daughter. Both of which strike me as "reasonable ages" to start a family. You blithely (and bitchily!) assumed people's reasons for how they chose to build their families, which is beyond tacky. Sheesh, what is wrong with you?
