This is a re-blog by a Mom who voluntarily gave up her parental rights to her infant to “give her a better life”. That’s the catch-phrase society uses to lure vulnerable young mothers into believing they aren’t good enough to parent their own child.

What impresses me here is not only the Mom’s courage to identify the male adopter and to call him out on his bad behavior, but the young adult adoptee’s maturity and grace.

This is yet one more example that adoption is not at all what unaware people think it is.
