Adoption Nightmare

Usually I strive for sweet and charming on this blog, but this essay by an adoptive mom who decided to terminate her son's adoption is heart-wrenching.

There was a time when I had nightmares about having to relinquish my children. I think I was identifying with the difficulty our sons' birthparents faced in making a decision that strikes me as both impossible and profoundly loving.

I am thankful that I have never been in the crisis that the author faced, but I can imagine it, it makes me furious, and I sympathize.
