      No one is really a thug🥰 life just throws them a shell to put on for protection that makes them think they are and makes them look like they are a thug. But inside we are all human beings capable of great love, gentleness, kindness, and compassion.

    What never fails to amaze me is the grace that these grown children display as they hear the stories of how their mother struggled to make the decision that adoption was the best thing they could do for their child. After 9 months of pregnancy, a long delivery - the mothers are already SO in love with their child that it must be so heartbreaking to part with them.

      Some day?! No they should know and have a relationship with the bio parents from the beginning and throughout childhood. That’s why open adoption is advocated. I wanted tp place my child for adoption at first but your comment just changed my mind. The one day is selfish on your part!

    • @lindah2148
      @lindah2148 Месяц назад

      @ It’s just like people to read a comment online and take one tiny part of it out of context and get sanctimonious. Obviously everyone would prefer open adoptions but not all kids get that privilege. If I adopted a kid who couldn’t for whatever reason know their parents up front, I would WANT them to have this experience. Good luck trying to figure out what to do with your situation. Don’t take it out on me by lashing out at a well meant comment and sentiment.

In the delivery room the midwives were disgusting to me and my partner- they were cruel. The young intern I knew bc I trained at that hospital with him so he was kind, he was young like me. The obs/ gynae was cold but that was his demeanour anyway and the paed was fine. But the midwives were foul. And I trained at that hospital. I was shocked.But once they saw my black partner wow . Brutally disrespectful. I kept my twins but ended up single mum. But I understood the mums feelings about the delivery room and having mixed children

      I had my daughter in early 1988 and hearing that this mom gave birth in 1984 really resonated with me. It was a very different time, hospital personnel just weren't as 'aware' of the emotional ramifications of pressured choices.
      My nurses were caring and efficient, but I experienced a LOT of judgement as well, especially from the female surgeon who performed the cesarian for the birth. She was an excellent surgeon but her bedside manner was completely crap.

    Im so glad the mom reconnected with her daughter. Were they ever able to share with the father that he has a daughter out there? It makes sense in the 80s that indeed losing contact could cause a major disconnect. But it would be easier to find him now and it sounds like based on how the mom described him, she was not betting on him being a deadbeat or abandoning/disowning their daughter per se.
