I have 2 children and they are adopted. It is so hard, sometimes I struggle to live without them.

(((childwithin))) Welcome to the adoption forums! Here you will be able to find support from other birthmoms, adoptive parents and adoptees who are all willing to help you in your struggles! Feel free to PM me anytime! I'm sure it is difficult to have placed children for adoption. I don't know your circumstances, but I do know you are a very loving mother to have given your children the opportunities you have.

I am an adoptee. I know that birthmom's live with a lot of emotions over the decisions they made, either by choice or not....I hope we can help you sort through these emotions. It is important to seek professional help if it is needed and I hope you will consider this. Especially since you mention the struggle you go through. Grief counseling may be in order. You might also want to check and see if there are any birthmom support groups in your area!

Hugs and Welcome to the forums! Again, PM me anytime!

Kick your shoes off and feel at home here----we are still a small group, but offer many hugs!!!

Thanks Ronda. Sorry I haven't been by sooner to post. My children were adopted in 2006 and it has been so hard. It takes over my life not having my children with me and sometimes it is so hard to get out of bed. I work with children and that helps but nothing takes the void and ache away of not having my own kids with me. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I haven't sought counselling, that was never offered. I just assume that once children are adopted, that is the end. Would Social Services be a good place to start to find out about counselling? I could talk to my GP as well. Not really sure how to go about it but I know I need help dealing with losing my children. I will try and post more regularly, thanks again
