- Trust in your decisions. If you chose adoption for your baby, you did so with your child’s interests at heart. This was a decision that you made out of unlimited love for your child, and a heartfelt wish for them to have the abundant future you want for them. Remind yourself that you made this sacrifice out of love, and let go of any feelings of guilt that you may carry.

Mothers who choose an open adoption can decide how they’d like to stay in contact with the adoptive family, and many find immense peace of mind from being able to see that their child is loved and well cared for. Over time, feelings of loss are gradually replaced with the happiness that comes from celebrating life’s little milestones as your little one grows older.
