Unfortunately, I've seen two sets of friends go through adoptions that were rescinded afterward because the parents wanted the baby in one case and older kids in another, back.
Another friend adopted from Russia and though there were certainly hurdles, at least they didn't have to go through the pain of returning the child under orders from a judge.
I think the way it used to work where things were kept anonymous worked better. I very good friend of mine was adopted and she never felt inclined to find her birth mother. Perhaps she's the exception.
Nope, there are a lot of us that never had the desire to find our
biological mother. My sister(not blood) and I have always felt that
our adoptive mother was the one that was there to take care of us
through sickness and health, good times and bad. She's MOM.
In my case, my bio. mom was 16, and in 1950 you just didn't have a kid
at 16.
