In reply to the discussion: Adoption Affects on Birthmothers [View all]MarianJack
(10,237 posts)I have nothing but respect for my son's birth mother. I appreciate the choice she made. This does not change the fact that she stated that she DID NOT WANT her baby. Perhaps she came to regret that decision, but in the course of the open adoption we agreed to, she has made ZERO attempts to contact him for the last six years and only one since he was 2.
Perhaps she's moved on? Of course I realize that my perspective as his father since he was 15 weeks old means very little in this equasion. My wife and I have always said that we'd support his contacting his birth mother if he ever expressed an interest. He hasn't.
In your view, it seems that every birth mother must have the same views and feelings that you do. Or maybe my wife and I SHOULDN'T have believed her oft repeated statements?
