I have a coworker who put a son up for adoption when she was 17 years old. The son found her like 3 years ago and he has been nothing but trouble! He is 37 now and a recovering alcholic and crack head. When he came back into his mother's life he was a crack head and an alcholic. He also has issues with his parents who adopted him. Mostly with dad who has had no time for his son or any of his other kids. The adopted parents knew their son was doing drugs,drinking and couldn't hold a job. They were paying all his bills and giving him money when he asked even though they knew it was going to his habits. Around this time he was desperate for money so he found his real mom. At first mom was not aware why he came found her. The real reason. Since then mom has when threw the ringer with emotions. From "I should of keep him" and "If I did he would not be a mess". Mom finally found out why his real reason for finding her. I think he thinks differently now but that is debatable. The son got so bad he was pimpimg himself to get drugs and lost his house. Real mom put him into rehab,only after he pleaded and begged her to! Son is clean now and has been for a year or so. Still has no job. Lives off assitance and real mom pays his phone bill. She also visits him reguraly. This man has put his mom on a rollercoaster ride! Maybe he will stay clean for good? Hard to say! He has been off and on the wagon many times before! If my son turned out like that I would not give the time of the day unless he got his crap in order! I couldn't and wouldn't put of with this crap this woman does! I couldn't handle it!

I never had the patience for children , yet alone damaged grown children! After this story , I wouldn't even want to give a baby up for adoption. I always thought if a woman never wanted children and yet can't have an abortion, adoption is a great thing. the birth mother gets to have her life and the baby gets a loving home. win-win. But if the child is going to invade the birth mother's life? It isn't a win-win.

i think i understand the real mom's guilt. but she should realize that at 17 , giving her son up for adoption was probably the best option. unfortunately, the son turned out bad. i don't think it's her fault. we don't know how he was raised by the adoptive parents. anyway, at 37 he should be able to accept responsibility for his actions. he should stay clean, get a job, stop manipulating his mom.
