I don't know how to deal with this adoption anymore. My birthdaughter turned 2 the end of April.....the last 2 years have been hell. I was 16 when I got pregnant and everyone supported adoption, but no one supported keeping her....so I feel like I never got to explore all my options....and I regret my choice so much. I hurt so badly, my heart is broke....I feel so alone, I feel like there is no one to talk to. I don't know if I can deal with it all anymore.....I don't know how....

Have you considered calling a hotline to talk to a counselor? Does the agency that you used to place your daughter have follow-up help? It sounds like you might be suffering with depression, postpartum depression even.
Just remember you aren't alone. Did you do open adoption? If so, can you still have contact with the family? Maybe you could have more visits, or they could send you more updates. Think of the ways that you've been a good mom for Rebecca so far...is she safe? is she being loved? you need to take care of yourself, maybe go to college, because chances are, Rebecca will be looking you up one of these days. Be the best you can be for her sake too, not just your own.
I wish I knew what to say to help you. I'm glad you are asking for help, and I'll be praying for you!
