      @@alisonlevity what he means by a selfless act is that, she wanted to keep him but didn’t have the means. She put her own selfish wants and/or needs aside to do what was best for her baby (giving him opportunities outside of her own life). Selfless is referring to the opposite of selfish in this instance rather than referring to number of people. Of course giving up a baby would never feel selfless, I imagine it is something you never forgive yourself for, so this statement coming from the son she gave up must be a soothing balm to her soul. It really shows his immensely kind nature and heart to find her and bring her solace like that 😄

I’m also very attuned to everyone else, can sometimes be too much of a people pleaser, I majored in Theatre etc etc.

    Being adopted @ 2.5 years old, what Keegan is describing is a very real feeling… The abandonment feeling and making people happy/laugh. I was voted The Wittiest in 8th grade and 12th grade. My birth mother found me (and my sister) when I was 29 and I finally had the courage to meet her at 30 years of age. I was also fortunate to meet my other maternal siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins I’d never met.
    Mostly, I was blessed to be raised by guardian angels… My parents. I never knew anyone else that molded themselves in this way. Makes sense… He’s truly a delight in ALL that he does. Loved his work for years❣️

My journey isn’t complete, as I’m hoping to also one day have peace by meeting the relatives on my biological father’s side as well. That hasn’t gone as well, but that’s a long story, the short version being that the biological father is trying to hide his philandering past, which requires my identity to be kept a secret. Time is running out as he is almost 80. So far, his reception has been icy, but that’s his loss/issue. I care more about the fact that he had three children and I’d like to know those siblings and the other relatives. I suppose it’ll happen when it’s meant to be. ☮️💟

      I don’t think recognizing that a parent is ready to never see his/her child again in order to give them a better life is ‘glamorizing’ it.
      I believe that you can find that place in your heart where you recognize that separation was hard for your biological parent but it ultimately gave you a chance at life that otherwise wouldn’t have been possible.
      That realization can make you feel grateful for the sacrifice and grateful for your life.
      Hence making that trauma a little less painful.
      Also when children are adopted very young i don’t thing it’s that traumatic as for the parent and they get to live a much better live with parents that could take care of your every need and love you beyond simple basic biology.
      Adoptive families don’t love you cause biology and society says they have to, but because the CHOOSE to love you no matter what.

      @@nofinn1044 Adoption in human society is as old as human society, and for all the same reasons as today. Adoption figures in mythologies of every culture I'm aware of. Keegan is correct that his bio-mother was selfless in making her choice. Not all adopted children see it that way, and not all women who give up their children are doing it for completely selfless reasons. Any of that doesn't make adoption bad. It's a necessary part of human life. If you mean the adoption industry that tries to take away the right of women to reproductive freedom and "my body, my decision", then yeah sure I would agree with you. But not that adoption itself is wrong or inherently unnatural or bad.

      Every story is unique and the reason for being placed differs. My bio parents were teens, I’m a secret and they want to keep it that way. I was placed out of shame, fear, and selfishness. Moreover, to withhold medical info is cynical especially when my maternal side are doctors and nurses. Although I understand, but my bio mom should have been supported. Instead of being forced to place me, with the idea of never meeting or seeing me again. Have grace for those people, listen and support. Don’t judge because they don’t share your ideology of adoption. It’s a complex situation to be in.

    Keegan-Michael Key is the definition of charming thoughtful with a whole lot of swagger. My stepfather was abusive and my mother could not defend me however my new adopted parents were encouraging and still are caring to me. It is better to have had concerned adoptive parents, than no love at all. Folks who go on with their lives without any love & family ties end up in prison have a history of homelessness, dysfunctional relationships, and never-ending drama. Moreover our biological family is our relational teaching tools if you don't learn to accept them or get along with them, you might not have the skills to strengthen relationships thus you will be all alone during hard times.

    Being relinquished is trauma. Even if you don’t know about it, it impacts and effects you on a cellular and emotional and biological level. I was relinquished at birth and placed with my adopted parents at 6 weeks old. They did not tell me I was adopted. I found out accidentally at 20 years old. There is so much to say about this but too much for a texted comment. I just wanted to say that the primal wound (Nancy Verrier) is real. I have always struggled with feelings of abandonment and being unwanted. Yes I have a loving adoptive family and yes I have a deep wound. Bit are true.
    Also, I believe it is a lifelong grief for the bio mother too. I understand there are good reasons to relinquish your baby and I understand it deeply impacts the bio mother and the relinquished child. A great resource for adult adoptees is the Adoptees Connect and the podcast Adoptees On

    Birth mother here, what he says, but more importantly, how he says it really hits me. As someone who gave my first born son to a loving family I even got to pick myself, I struggle constantly with the sadness, guilt, feelings of being a failure, weakness, inadequacy and never knowing if I really did do right by him. I havent seen or held him since he was three days old, but I think about him everyday in someway. Especially now that I have two more boys with my husband and I cant imagine living without them. I can tell you this tho, it doesn't feel "selfless" to me. [Logan Joshua, I love you wherever and whoever you are. ]

    How wonderful. I wish my mother had that same perspective because she has spent her entire life questioning why her mother "dashed" her away when that was really not the case at all. She has lived a very blessed life compared to her biological siblings.

    It's true a out the emotional IQ to learn from very young what makes each person happy. And yes, becoming what they want from you, rather than you being allowed to become you.

    His mom chose to do a selfless thing by letting him go and she ended up having him in the end. Wonderful how that worked out and that he does not harbor any hatred towards his mother - and he encourages her to not have any guilt.

    I get it! Abandonment stuff, in me too, is tied up with rushing a lot, and being afraid to miss them. What if they're already gone by the time I get there?

    Many children who experience trauma early in life usually develop an obsessive need to control something unknowingly having this idea that whatever happened to them won't happen again because now they can control "it." 😣
