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.

    kids

    Being the parent of nineten and twenty year old sons I applaud and respect the decision of Jessica to have her wee girl adopted. Some of my boy's friends have given birth in their youth and the struggles and parenting are what one would expect of kids having babies. Madison is one lucky child and as emotionally complicated as it must be for all involved you are all lucky.
