I placed my daughter for adoption when she was born 06/15/08. I have since had another child who I have with me and I got married in 2009 to my husband. She is 2 and 1/2 years old. I have been having a rough time lately dealing with the adoption. It is an open adoption and she is in Georgia and I live in Colorado. We visit when we can financially but it's not nearly enough. We get pictures and updates on a regular basis but sometimes I feel like my daughter will come to hate me when she begins to truly understand the adoption. I fear she will wonder why I made the decision-I was homeless at the time left by the birthfather in the middle of nowhere. It has started really hurting lately and I have become extremely emotional about it. I don't know what to do anymore to make the pain at least subside.

I just placed my daughter for adoption May 8 of this year. so I'm still learning how to deal w. this too. I was ina similar situation, left by the birthfather & no permanent home. The fear you have is 1 I have too. I think this is a common fear, & I worry about it all the time. The best I can tell you is what I tell myself -- Worrying does not change things. We just have to wait to see how she feels later. Hopefully the adoptive family tells her positive things about you, which I know mine will. - hope this helps a little. =)
