Typical. The birth family is seen as a deficient, abusive, poor, one parent family that cannot adequately raise a child. Truth is, many adoptive families are also single parent, abusive, poor families with less than ideal child rearing abilities. So where is the benefit?

I agree Mariarippy. I am so saddened by all the pain and suffering caused by the separation of mother and child. Too many lives were ruined because society was not willing to help people keep their families together. It was easier to create new families. Babies became pawns like in a game of chess. I suspect that your mother could not deal with the emotional rollercoaster of reunion. Not everyone can. I would bet that she loves you dearly but is too confused by her emotions. God bless you

Too many children are given up due to a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I wish family preservation superseded family separation (adoption).

@atruepie no one ever said that, keep your taxes and political agenda out of an important emotional conversation, are you even adopted or a birth mother? if not go screw you dont belong here

@barbestabrooks thank you for posting that, unlike many adoptees i dont feel given up, i feel so much sympathy for my birthmother because it was so common to go through what you just described, the world was not a loving place for a single unwed pregnant woman. I love your video so much, even though it makes me cry so much, it helps me connect with my birth mother because i believe she went through something similiar.

@LiptonGuy i understand what you are going through, its really hard, and there will probably never be closure . Your comment was a long time ago, i hope you have at least found peace if things have not changed.

@barbestabrooks . Society does not owe a birthmother money to keep her child. We already pay too many taxes.

@nomorefunds i dont think birth mothers demand someone else pay the checks. I am not even sure i would say birth mothers are lazy. Some birth mother really dont have anywhere to turn, they are pregnant, often time the father has left them, their family is ashamed, and they don't know what to do. I think its incredibly insensitive of you to say that. Yes they should try to raise their child, but its not because they are lazy gold diggers they are scared.

@MsReid101 I also appreciate that you support open adoption, from my point of view, being an adoptee, to know you are and where you come from means the world, and if you can have adoptive parents who embrace that it is truly an amazing thing. Your son is very very lucky.

@MsReid101 I was very angry when i wrote my responses. I know in my case my adoptive parents were unfit to be parents regardless if the child was biological or not. I have no idea what it is like to be infertile So I cant imagine what you have and continue to go through.

@rslosberg1 . If a child is better off with its biological mother, then maybe these lazy birthmothers should keep their own child, and raise that child, instead of demanding someone else write the checks.
