luvbeingmummy, thanks for your reply. I have watched those shows from the beginning and agree Catelyyn and Tyler did the very best thing for their child. It has shown me how hard it must be to give your child up. It seems that their open adoption has limited contact, which in my personal opinion wouldn't be soo bad, but I would struggle with anything more. Being adopted I have always known my birth mother just wanted me to have a better life with two parents and my parents were forever grateful for the gift they received. I think coming from a background where there has been no contact (even now at my own choice) I believe it should be to the child to make the decision and the adoptive parents to support that decision. I think if you can find birth parents and adoptive parents who want a relationship them itsa great, but what about the people either birth or adoptive that dont want that, it doesnt make them less of a suitable candidate in my opinion. I am looking forward to going to the info night and hearing about open adoption stories.
