How does it feel to give a baby up for adoption? I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm kind of thinking about it.

    It feels like crap, like horrible. There has been no worse pain in my life than leaving the hospital without M.

    And then, slowly, it feels good. It feels good to have your child be parented by people who are ready and able (and so excited) to parent. It feels good to know that you don't have to resent that child for making the rest of your life so different from the way you wanted it to go. It feels good to watch M grow up with a dad who is there for him and can provide for them.

    Especially now that I have a child I'm raising, I know for certain that I was NOT ready to be a good mom. You have plenty of time to make a decision you can live with.
