[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743858, member: 23371"] SWOT, what I am trying to say is that I can picture a situation in which a birthmom may not want to admit to having had a child when the birthfather was unknown. I'm not referring to a situation when she doesn't want to put a name on paper. That is common. I'm referring to when the relationship was very short term. Or one of a series of short term. In particular if she later marries and has young daughters this may not be something she wants to admit. I think there can be all kinds of reasons a birthmom of a 20 something may not want to acknowledge a child. But its not a rejection of the child. The questions of paternity alone can be complex. I know that statistically adoptees typically look for birthmom. But the question of paternity always comes up. I don't see how the adoptee can feel "whole" without searching for both. And I think the paternity question alone can concern a birthmom. [/QUOTE]
