I gave my ds1 up for adoption so many years ago and I feel such guilt still, I was assaulted at 14 and gave birth alone in my room and was so scared and knew I couldn't be a good mother to him.
I look at my two dc now and think "how can I just of given him away". He's not tried to contact me but he's only young still. I've never had any contact, he knows he was adopted it was mandatory at 11 for him to be told.
I was thinking of writing to the adoption agency with my address details and contact information just in case he wants to contact me. Not that I would ever try and force myself on him, he has a mother and father and I'm so grateful they adopted him but aibu to just write, just in case?
