In fact, the hospital committed an illegal act: abduction. Do not feel guilt or regret -- adoption was not your choice (unless you really do feel that despite everything that occurred, you still would have surrendered your son if it hadn't happened at all, if you had been given support and been with your baby until at least 6 weeks postpartum, at which point a "choice" can be made.Cedarhttp://adoptioncritic.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953239816472596984.post-45290604895445737662011-03-13T03:53:05.987-05:002011-03-13T03:53:05.987-05:00Great postGreat postThey called her Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448468657563750708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953239816472596984.post-67002527925064662742011-02-15T14:34:00.920-06:002011-02-15T14:34:00.920-06:00Cassie,

He was hidden from me from the moment he was born... I was lost to him from the moment of birth...<br /><br />My heart breaks for all who have lost their mothers, their first families ~ whether immediately at birth, or a few days/weeks later.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929169562563801608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953239816472596984.post-77164716733965523692011-02-15T10:32:21.961-06:002011-02-15T10:32:21.961-06:00I agree so much with you and reading that article ...I agree so much with you and reading that article was so hard in thinking of the damage I caused my son.<br /><br />I wonder too, because I was able to hold my son and be with him for the first couple days, how much trauma did it then cause him to be separated from me after that. After all those months while I was pregnant and he knew my scent and voice to those first couple days when he still had that from me to suddenly, without warning losing it all and being forced to connect with a complete stranger.<br /><br />I hate the thoughts of what that did to him. Of the damage it caused when all I ever wanted for him was the very best he could have.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00274531213087340905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953239816472596984.post-80535571814639006082011-02-14T21:43:20.300-06:002011-02-14T21:43:20.300-06:00agreed.agreed.Adopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989232314224971152noreply@blogger.com
