I realize this is probably very personal.......but it sounds like a very endearing story on the adoption and something you and your wife should be commended for.......maybe someday if you want, you can share it with us.........
Glad everyone is doing better..........
There is a fairly comprehensive confidentiality agreement involved in the adoption but it is a situation that is surprisingly typical.
There are some mothers that decide they do not want the child or children and a method they use, based upon information I have gathered from various doctors and professionals, is very heavy doses of illegal drugs. I guess this can be a method used by mothers to rid them of the birth and is more common than I would ever want to believe. Fortunately, many of these children can live normal lives provided that alcohol was not present as well and there is immediate medical attention. There are so many children born under these circumstances that it is hard to even comprehend.
Ours were born under very bad circumstances and had a combined birth weight of 4 pounds. But they have been doing very well.
