we posted this thought provoking blurb on the bm4a facebook page....
as a birthmother,
how do you differentiate between 'want' and 'need'
when it comes to contact with the child that you placed?
do you really 'need' anything at all, or does it all just boil down to a 'want'?
did you get everything you ultimately 'needed' from the act of placement itself?
discuss!
there is no right or wrong answer! each person is validated to have their own
thoughts feelings and experiences, so please dont be afraid to comment!!

The only thing I NEEDED was to know that my son was happy and safe. I wanted a whole lot more than that. Still do. But my son's parents are amazing and have given me all that I needed and more. Even 15 years later.
