(22,568 posts)Unless you know that woman personally (and very, very well, I might add), there is no way you can possibly know what kind of mother she MIGHT have been if she had made a different choice, or how she feels about the adoption. You (like everyone else here) know absolutely nothing about her, other than that she has a (presumably still) working uterus.
I'm not sloppy sentimental about adoption (or much of anything else, lol), but I know there are many adoptions that work out well for everyone concerned, and that it can be a great choice for some people. It's true that the adoption system in this country is not perfect, but I know too many people it's worked well for to immediately jump to possibly wildly inaccurate conclusions about the birth mother's motivations or how she feels about her choice.
Please go find another parade to rain on and let the rest of us celebrate Pete's and Chasten's happiness in peace.
