Does anyone care about the children at all???? I'd understand relinquishing to the nmother but to do THIS? It makes no sense. It's so disturbing. These are human beings, not defective dvd players. My goodness. My heart is tearing right now-as if the heartache your mother has caused isn't enough...Adoptees seem to always get the short end of the stick. You have a voice but it seems not many want to respect it. Shades of birth and being given away I guess. Crying for mother but nowhere to be found. I"m so angry.
