She isn't. She's just a human being. She's just had a hard life. When we took the baby from her arms, that was one of the hardest things I have done. Everyone knew it was the right thing to do, and it made it no easier.

She's had to hand other kids away, only this time it actually went to a family. Despite that, she still blackmailed you and tried to get $15k out of you. And she's a druggie. All signs point to her being an awful person. Hell, the money you gave her will probably only go to more drugs. Just glad you got that kid out of there.

The money was actually to get her drivers license cleared. She's been trying to put her life back together. Before him her life was a mess, but she does want to get her shit together.

So, naturally, blackmail the person who wants to give your baby a good home. Guess asking nicely was out of the question, huh? Sorry, but I don't think that I'm going to be seeing her in a positive light lol It's not my life though. That's just my "in passing" opinion on her.

I saw it that way at first too. But it was the last chance to get anything. It was a bluff, had we called it she would have backed down. She's had a hard life, and needed to take what she would have probably not been given.

I wish her the best, she's got a lot of hard work ahead of her. If it's not too personal (like you would be posting this stuff here if you were shy!) what are your plans/expectations from her regarding..... distance, space and time? Are you planning on allowing her contact? Has she expressed interest/desire? Are you planning on distancing yourselves? Going dark? With 3 adoptions in my immediate family (my mom, 1 sister and myself) none of us knew our bio-parents, but all knew that we were adopted. I am curious, especially since you have a few months contact with the bio-mother already, how you and your wife are thinking of handling the overall issue.

I wish her the best as well. We will be putting some distance between us. We need to be clear that we aren't raising her child, but our own. We'll send pictures and updates, but she will be more a guardian angel than anything.
