		<description>Thanks for responding... I did not expect anyone to comment.

I have a sort of peace with my decision in knowing it can&#039;t be reversed and I wouldn&#039;t try too.

That does not mean I will stop complaining about the injustice I feel was done to me as a person due to the fact I am a first mom.

I will NEVER stop being mad about this sanity business.
I feel it is my right to be mad for as long as I want to me.

You are very kind to try and consol me. 
I am not counting on my son&#039;s adoptive parents ever treating me as I hoped they would.

It&#039;s very good of you to treat your daughters first mom so kindly, but I believe you are a rarity. You opinion is not common.</description>

		<description>I know this was posted back in June, but I felt compelled to respond. I am an adoptive mom and in no way define sanity with first mom&#039;s. I can not imagine the pain that first mom&#039;s go thru when making an adoption plan for their children and then having to always look back at what could have been. I do know that I have made decisions based on what my circumstances were at the time and later think to myself &quot;why did I do that&quot;. BIG Decisions that I can not take back and that have truly affected who I am. I agree with you that adoptive parents seem to be hard on the first families and vice versa. I hope and pray with all my heart that I personally am respectful of my daughter&#039;s first family. I do what is comfortable and best for her and always with respect to her first mom&#039;s family. It disappoints me tremendously that all families involved, in adoption, do not practice such respect. I believe that it is in her best interest to  always put her first when it comes to decisions about her first family. I also hope that if my daughter&#039;s first mom could be a fly on the wall she would be proud of the mom I am. I don&#039;t know if any of this will help, but I pray your son&#039;s adoptive family learns what they need to do and that you can find peace with your decision.</description>
