    Don’t discount the birthdads. I was adopted and had only really thought of finding my birth mother. She wasn’t very interested but my birth father! He was awesome. We had so much in common and found we really looked at things the same way. He passed at a young age and I really miss him. I’m so glad we had all the experiences we did.

    Having adopted our son as a newborn (now 31) we really got a front seat to nature vs nurture. People really are prewired genetically and as parents we get the privilege to influence our kids. I am thrilled for this biological family’s finding each other. It really does help an adoptive person fill in the holes. Unfortunately, not all reconnections are as amiable and successful as was the case for my son, which breaks my heart for him. The story isn’t done being written and hope remains.

I helped get him into a nursing home just down the road from where I lived so I could visit him during his last few years. So grateful for the stories, pictures, and memories we made together. I'm even more happy that I secretly recorded our conversations together. Now I can listen to his stories whenever I'd like.

    I cried. His mother is a hero for not ending his life. She is the best. Adoption is a loving option.

      You sound pro life? This video was amazing but you do know its not the norm kids being left alone for adoption?

      Adoption is a loving option IF the child gets adopted and IF the adoptive parents are not neglectful and/or abusive, none of which is guaranteed. So, what about the kids who are never adopted and have miserable lives? Do they deserve to suffer through a life without being loved? How many kids have you adopted? How much time do you spend volunteering at an orphanage? How much $ do you donate to help raise those unwanted children? Neither an embryo nor a fetus have consciousness and they feel nothing if a pregnancy is ended. An unwanted child feels that 24/7/365 so perhaps adoption is more self-serving than it is altruistic.

      ​@@PS.LynchArt science states otherwise. They DO feel pain and at a very young gestational age... even before most women discover they are pregnant. Every form of abortion is torture... either burning to death or being dismembered alive. You seriously need to learn about what you are supporting.

      Not to mention that there is a long list of people waiting to adopt that never get a chance. Where we live, there is a 5+ year waiting list. Most children here are not available for adoption and stuck in foster care due to government bs.
