I don't miss the baby I gave up for adoption.

[Anonymous]

I was talking to a friend about this today and told her that I do not miss the little boy I gave up for adoption. I signed the papers once he was born and left the hospital without him. I never let myself get attached and while I did love him(if I didn't, I damn sure would not have carried him for 10 months) I don't miss him. There is nothing to miss. I don't want him with me. I gave him up for a reason and I wouldn't change a thing. 

My friend got all upset saying that I sound heartless and so on and so forth but she just doesn't understand.

Consider counseling. Maybe some therapy might help.....

Not all people are easily emotionally attached; some think more logically. You knew what you were doing and went through with it. You chose a great life for baby and went on with yours. Nothing wrong with that.

I guess I don't understand either then, I'm with your friend. How could you not miss your child???

He's not my child anymore. Yes I got pregnant with him and gave birth to him but he has a mother and father, he is their child.

If you don't miss him....do u think about him? Wonder what king of life he is having? Ever want to meet him? At the very least give him you Knowlike family health history, things like that

You weren't emotionally invested, you went into the pregnancy knowing you were placing him then?

Pretty much. I Knew there was no way I could keep and raise a baby at that point in time from the moment I found out I was pregnant.

I see nothing wrong with how you feel. You did what was right for you.

I guess I can kind of get it. I mean, I can't fathom it because I've never gone through it, but I can see how you would feel that way. If you didn't love him ever, you would have aborted him. You wanted something more for him from day one and knew it, I suppose?

 I don't see anything wrong with her...why does she need therapy?

I don't hate you for it. And truthfully, I feel like anyone who bashes for this is just out for blood tonight.
