This part really clicked with me.

I think may be there should be more things in net for moms of expectant moms. I think may be they are the ones who can really help and do not know how to.

I did not tell my mom that I was pregnant for 5 months. And I guess I needed her,but I did not want her even ask me whether I considered abortion.

Now all is well.

I wish you could go back .

I really appreciate your perspective and I hope it makes me a more sensitive and understanding adoptive parent. I worry often for our daughter's birth mother, who was only 15. Her mother whole-heartedly offered support and help but she still wanted to place. I know eventually she may (will) reach a point where she may wish she'd done things differently. By the way, the pic on the top of your blog is absolutely priceless... both your little ones are beautiful.
