Why?

[rainfalls]

Everytime I see on cafemom, or hear around that a woman has placed, or is placing their baby up for adoption I feel like the wind gets knocked out of me.

Why do I still feel shocked when I have come to the understanding that it's such a normal thing?

Since placing my son up for adoption over two years ago I feel like I have fought a battle, and I see history repeating itself over and over again.

It's so frustrating and painful.  These women have absolutely no idea what they're getting into.  No matter what I say, or anyone else, they will not hear us. 

I do believe sometimes adoption is necessary, but in so many cases it's just not.

It's so heartbreaking...

I'm sorry. I am sure you do feel that way because of your situation. And, I wish some Moms would take more time before making that decision...but, I guess for some it works? Still I think you should give your opinion and advise when you can. Hope you will have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family!
