When I was 16 years old I brought up the subject of meeting "the womb" - my mother asked me to please wait until I was in my 20's as then I would be past any rebelliousness etc. As I respect my parents I agreed to wait. It is a known fact that majority of teenagers are 'rebels without a cause' there are very few who are not.

From what I can gather you don't really know this child that you gave away at birth. You are taking what she says as fact. Do you know for a fact that she isn't lying to you? Sometimes people have reasons for saying and doing things that only later on you end up knowing the truth.

Perhaps her mother and father feel threatened, or perhaps they feel that it isn't fair that the child they have brought up, seems to be disappearing out of their lives.

I think you are unfair in trying to use emotional blackmail on the mothers of adoptees - "the bmothers that gave your child the gift of life probably had the option of abortion. Instead, they endured 9 months of psychological and emotional trauma to bring a life into the world which they knew they were not going to mother". IT WAS THE CHOICE YOU MADE, NOT ANYONE ELSE!

From what I can see from your letter you should be pointing fingers at the Child Welfare for not placing this child with people who met your requirements.

Be more patient with the parents - they have more right to her than you do.
There is a saying that I find particularly true "You never know a person until you live with them" - never a truer word spoken.
