Question by Annon777: Adoptees with older biological siblings/ birth mothers who place a baby for adoption after having children ?
For those who have been placed for adoption, do you have older siblings from either or both of your biological parents? How do you feel about that. Have any birth mothers placed a baby for adoption AFTER already having a child/children? I.e. a woman has a child whom she chooses to raise she then becomes pregnant again and places the second child for adoption.

Best answer:

Answer by magic pointe shoes
I bet the mother feels pretty miserable about the relinquishment. I would imagine it mirrors the same attitudes I hold about myself. Because honestly the same sort of bad thoughts about parenting *any* child when I am a mother who had to relinquish are there regardless of birth order. I get the same comments about how my relinquished son will feel knowing he had to be the child abandoned and given away while his sisters were worthy enough to be kept.

Adoption and relinquishment pain is awful.
