  The Story of A Girl — Authority: 120
  Not all of this research I agree with, these are just some of the studies done on birth mothers grief (there are more but not many) Dont let one study detour you in any way from choosing or not choosing adoption.

If they did apologize, did it change anything for you? Did you accept ...
