I feel for you tremendously. I have had an abortion and given a child up for adoption to do health reasons out of my control (I had to have a pacemaker implanted while 7 months pregnant because I was symptomatic to heart failure) I can honestly, HONESTLY, say giving my daughter up for adoption was the single hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. I was a wreck for a year after and still to this day, she'll be 6 this month and I still have a tough time on Mother's day, holidays and her birthday. Its open, so I can have contact if I want and the adoptive family wants me to have contact, but its still too hard. Having the abortion was much easier to deal with in the long run. Good luck to you.
