Most of the stories I have heard from birth mothers who surrendered their children involved women who felt they had no choice, due to lack of support, poverty (with domestic as well as international adoptions), being in a situation of domestic violence, or being teen mothers who were pressured by their families to do so. Even here the effect would be speculative given the role of birth mothers in selecting adoptive parents. Yet even those not-so-civil posts paled as frustrations boiled over into bitter personal attacks between anonymous posters questioning the marital status of posters' birth mothers or assaulting each other with sharply carved political attacks. |
