Answer 1

Wow - that is truly heartbreaking - thanks so much for posting it. I hope it sheds some light on the feelings of loss and love that so many natural mothers have for the children they relinquished. I think people who know nothing about adoption are just to quick to sweep aside the feelings of those women who faced the toughest decision of their lives.

Answer 2

Hearbreaking.

Answer 3

i can't find which video you mean, the one that teaches you how to make a badge?  im confused.

Answer 4

That is terrible. I feel sorry for the kids and the mothers(unless there is a good reason they lost their child).

Answer 5

wow, these women really look like they are moving on with their lives and really doing well with their selfless, giving, loving choice... /sarcasm!

ironically, i remember the "promissory note" speech when i changed my mind.  unfortunately, they didn't give me anything, so there was nothing to pay back.  

and what about the open-then-become-closed adoption?  my heart bled for that woman.

"my uterus was just a means for them to get what they wanted.." YES...and any potential b/f/nmom needs to understand that.  these agencies don't give a d**n about you; they want the product.  and your pain, agony and suffering is secondary.

this s**t makes me want to vomit.

Answer 6

I feel for those women but I'm reading some of the stuff here and it makes me hurt more.  I actually feel good about the son I gave up.  I'm not a horrible person.  I know I gave him a better life than I, at 17 could have given him.  I'm not going to get into my life at that time but I was NOT parent material.  I wasn't a druggie or anything like that....but stone me, I guess...I do feel selfless..I do feel happy that I gave a childless couple a beautiful, healthy, wonderful baby boy...but I come on here and I feel bad because I don't feel bad!!

Answer 7

Wow, they're not the awful kind of people that many of this forum paint them as, are they?

Thank you for posting this link.  I know my mother was not any of the things that people have hatefully described here on this forum.  She would have been a great Mom

Answer 8

I love this video, not only for the truth it shows, but because I know those women. They are me, and I am them. I also am privileged to know several of them in my real life.

We are real people, we never got over it, and we are not going away anytime soon!  

Proud to be "one of those women"

Answer 9

Yes, it is very sad and I have sympathy for these women. But not every first mother feels that way.
