Magan, I am actually looking for my daughter half sister and I know that the father of the adopted child (girl) born either in 1980 or 1981 from edny gladney, I believe the mother was 16 and the father was possbily 17, at the time of birth. So I do believe that any mother who gave birth would more than willingly want to meet their child. So please do keep looking and let me know if I can help in any way, you can always contact me thru my work email at awalden@jcpenney.com.
thanks!

WHY is it that the Birthmother is the one always addressed ? there are Dads out there that would love the chance to meet their children.

I am a birth mother who placed my son for adoption 6 years ago. He is the love of my life even though he is not physically her with me. There is not a day goes by that I do not think about him. I now work at American Adoptions and speak to quite a few birth mothers every day. Some of them have already placed and some are in the process of placing. I truly believe that when a mother chooses adoption for her child they do it out of love and what they feel is in the best interest of their child. I am sure that your birth mother loves you very much and I wish you the best of luck in contacting her. Every day I look forward to the day when I may be able to meet my son again. It is something that I want him to be ready for and I will be more than willing to be there. After all I chose adoption for him and now this is his choice.

Hello I just had my little on August 31,2004 I havent met with his new family yet but cant wait. To answer your question yes I would like to meet my child. The thing that is hurting me so much is knowing I wont be there for all the steps of his life.

Magan,
It's comforting to know that other adoptees feel the same way I do...the unanswered questions about how our birthmothers feel about us. Obviously, the ones who care take the time to go to these forums and respond...it's the ones who don't that I worry about and wonder. The search for my bfamily just started (after having a daughter of my own) and I have no idea what kind of "can of worms" I will open. Let me know if you find any good literature on the topic that addresses both positive and negative. Also, if you need someone to talk to, I'm always in need of a penpal friend. Thanks for writing this post---It was nice to see how others replied.

Yes I would love to here from my birth son. I don't regret placing him for adoption. I still feel I did the right thing so hopefully he could have a better life than I could have given him 26 yrs ago. He was born in May,1978; in Marinette, Wisconsin.

I placed my son a year ago and I can't think of a day that goes by that I don't wish I could meet him. I worry that he won't want to meet me. I think that more than likely, your mother would love to hear from you, she may be too ashamed to contact you, all you can do is try! Good Luck Honey

I placed a child up for adoption 2 years ago. And though it was an open adoption, I would love it if he decided to contact me. Good luck with everything and if you need someone to talk to, feel free.

I am a birth mother going through the process right now myself. For special reasons I have chosen to have a closed or semi-open adoption. Something that wasn't an option years ago. I'm not sure what your mother wanted, but I think after so much time has past it may be easier or it may make it harder. I know that I myself would like to one day meet my child but I also know that I will not be ready for that day for a very long time. Which is why I have chosen as I did. But I encourage you to try to notify your own mother that you would like a chance to meet or know her. Try and be understanding no matter her decision. Always remember that she cared enough to let you go and give you to others. Good luck. Write back if you would like to talk more.

I was adopted and am beginning the search for my birthmother. How do you think you would feel if your biological child contacted you 27 years after the fact? Would you be willing to speak with him/her or would it be too hard? I am really looking to get a dialogue going so I can sort out my own feelings! Thanks for replying!
