What's the word I'm looking for here?

Question

when biological parents were going to give their child up for adoption, but then realize that they also want the child. I don't want to here the word 'love' or 'realization'. I want the real word for it.

Answer 1

I am not sure what you are looking for. I would say that you are torn between your maternal/paternal instinctual bond and wanting to give your child up. Its a hard thing to do but if you know your child would be better off in another  home that could provide for it then you are doing the right thing.
