My Adopted Baby

wooldridges91 asked:


I have known from the beginning and felt that i was going to give this baby up; i know i do not have the stability in my life or the maturity yet to raise a child in a good environment. the father and I who had dated for a couple years recently have split and this was the last thing that i would want to happen, but then the more i looked at adoprtion profiles i have realized how my child and decision could be a blessing for someone else. Basically i just need advice… or stories shared. Any Regrets? things should or shouldn’t do.

Please only answer if you chose a closed adoption for your baby. My biol. mother was 16 or 17 when I was born in 1981. After 28 years, would you want your child to try and find you? Or is it better off left alone. I’m assuming she chose a closed adoption for a reason, but I thought possibly she may have regrets. Thanks for your thoughts.
Thank you to the moms who answered my question and shared your personal stories. I just want to point out again that I’m looking for only “birth moms” to answer my question. Although the answers from the “adoptees” are interesting, it’s not exactly what I’m looking for.
