I found this on another site and thought it was very good. Since there is so much conversation going on about birthmothers I thought it fitting to post.

2. Please do not stuff me into a box and give me labels. I am a woman living life longing for a part of me that is missing. I do not deserve to be branded with this scarlett letter society has put on my chest. Relinquishing is painful enough, I do not need to be generalized and to be stereotyped.

3. Please do not tell me to forget or tell me you understand. I am a woman who gave life out of love and have a heart full of love for the couple who opened their hearts and their home to my DD and raised her as their own.

Society needs to have understanding and compassion for all sides of the triad. Regardless of which part of the triad we are on we all deserve to be loved for who we are.

This post is very touching, and adoption does affect ALL of the parties involved.
My view is it is such an emotional time for everyone, the adopted parents are elated for adding a child to thier family, and yet they are sad for the birthparents who courageously chose to give up thier child. I feel that adoption is a far better choice than abortion or just dumping the baby in the garbage.
It hurts those of us who cannot biologically have children when others judge such a gift. And yes, this is my opinion, but in our current situation,our birthparents are beginning to become a part of our extended family, as we are theirs. There is both happiness and sadness of all those involved.
