I also hope that this current writing will be just as informative to any BSE adult adopted person who has also wondered about the hows and whys. You are Right on the Mark, your 'facts' are TRUTH and backed up by 'real' studies, articles, research, etc....written by 'real' people, who were not a surrendering mother. So no one can argue...that it is just some ole bitter burfmuggle trying to escape the responsibility of her supposed 'choice'. (sarcasm heavily implied) Thank you again Barb for bringing the Truth into the Light of Day!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983269716190701282.post-84449540458097354592008-07-29T02:54:00.000-07:002008-07-29T02:54:00.000-07:00Boy, can I relate.

It took me a lot of years to get it back and get really, really mad about what they did and the misinformation they strewed about like Mardi Gras beads.

Reading your post made me realize that my sister, whom I talked about in Dreams From Our Mothers, was almost given up for adoption. So I called my Mom and asked her about it. What she told me confirmed everything you've said here. She was driven to near insanity in the effort to convince her that she should give my sister up for adoption, but she remained firm in the end. Thank you for sharing this information, which allowed me a new connection with my own Mom.Anna Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13206725506820538612noreply@blogger.com
