You followed the right path of adoption. This selfish mother and her selfish daughter, enabled by "modern medicine," did not.
For some reason, I can envision the child growing up and being in a strange scene similar to the one from “Chinatown” with Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson.
and I think it is a private matter, and that the mother loves her daughter and felt the need to help her..
today adoption is not as easy as when we adopted, not that it was easy for us the wait was long..3 years but going through the process was wonderful, as we had an angel for a case worker.
today many go to foreign land to adopt and that saddens me, as there are children here that need families. today the birth parents want to have involvement with the child once they surrender, no way would We have done that,,
once our son was given to us and we went to court one year later, HE WAS OURS.
NOT FLESH OF MY FLESH
NOR BONE OF MY BONE,
STILL MIRACLOUSLY MY OWN,
HE DIDN'T GROW UNDER MY HEART
HE GREW IN IT.
