Brave and Strong?

Do you feel brave or strong for having lost your child to adoption?

How do feel about being described that way? This blog sees it as appropriate to do so.

How do you feel when others say they could never "do it"?

How universal are the reasons for, and feelings about, the loss of a child to adoption?

CNN’s Robyn Curnow sit down with two mothers in South Africa who gave their babies up for adoption is on video and the reaction of one of the mothers is simply heartbreaking.

What is brave about desperation and having no other choice?

These two women do not have any idea as of yet how they will truly feel once it is done, since as of now, it is only an idea...both the baby and the surrender.

CNN, IMHO, should be criticized for how this was handled by Robyn Curnow and the very - albeit unknowingly - insensitive, judgmental and cruel thing she said to make one of the women leave in tears.
