Hi everyone, I just wanted to thank everyone that offered me love and support after I disrupted my adoption. I am ok and getting over things (kinda) I feel guilt, regret but also relief. As time has gone on I have wondered if I did the right thing but try to concentrate on how I felt at the time.
I don't come on here anymore its not my place but as people were so kind I didn't want to ignore your good wishes.
I am trying to get on with my life without children, I may well live to regret my decision but it is what it is now.
Love and best wishes to all, especially those going through the process now xx

Thinking of you, I really hope all will be well. If you feel relief then I think (in my totally humble opinion) it was best for you. However you may feel in the future only you really know how you felt at the time. Be kind to yourself.

Wishing you a wonderful, happy life Funnychic. You did a very hard thing and were very brave I think. You can only ever make decisions based on the circumstances at the time, so while you might sometimes wonder what might have been, you made the right decison at the time. All part of life's journey. Take care and look after yourself.

Funnychic - I am so glad you have come back, even just to post this. I have never really been affected by a post before yours, and have thought about you lots. Adoption is a tough decision for anyone, and I think those doing alone are so brave. You made a decision based on what you felt and what you thought was right for you. So god bless and good luck with whatever you choose to do in life x

What devora and funniest said. Well actually what everyone else said.

I hope you are able to make peace with your decision and are able to make plans for the future.

I, too have thought about you lots since reading your story.

You didn't disrupt your adoption... It just disrupted. Don't forget that.

You were incredibly brave to acknowledge your feelings and act on them.

I wish you much happiness in the future.

Take care xx
