[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 243598, member: 1233"] MWM, It takes a lot of guts to state your feelings like this, esp on this topic. easy child or not, I am sorry you are hurting. I am sorry you are so scared. You have so much courage, I am proud to know you. The entire situation scares you to death, but you know your child needs this so you are doing it. THAT is the mark of a REAL parent. I agree that this trend to demonize the adoptive parents is scary. It is also WRONG. IF people want this lovely relationship with their children, then they should raise them themselves, going through the work, the expense, the fears, the teen years, etc.... It really isn't fair to the child or the adoptive parent to have the "reunion" and reunification when the adoptive parent did all the work and pour years of their hear into raising the child.. Anyway, hugs, and I sincerely hope that meeting her birthmother will be enough. I DO think she has a strong bond with you and will always love you. [/QUOTE]
