Hi all, I have been quiet about this since it is confusing to talk about. My daughter had her baby on Friday, and she had chosen adoption. Baby is home with us until the cerremony on Wednesday by her choice.

He is totally perfect, very small (Under 6lbs), and doing just fine. my daughter is doing well, they already gave her anti-depressants before she left the hospital (she has taken them on and off for years).

Not sure I want to talk about it much, just wanted to let you know.

Yes. Bless all of you. Be gentle with yourselves, as you may find some strong feelings coming up. And yes, adoption is an amazing and generous gift.

I am touched by the gift you and your daughter are giving! Adoption is a most wonderful yet difficult process. You and your daughter will mourn, but hopefully you will be able to acknowledge your feelings together and move on knowing that you did the right thing for this precious, tiny newborn. God bless you both.

Adoption is a great gift to give someone. Your daughter is very brave and big-hearted to do this. I was an adopted child. I know how precious I was to my adoptive parents, and how hard it was for my birth mother to make the decision to give me up. All my best wishes and warmest thoughts to your daughter and to you.

Thank you for sharing and I'm sure the days ahead will be emotional, but it sounds like this baby will have a wonderful start in life thanks to your daughter's decision.

What a beautiful, wonderful, precious gift. Best wishes to you and your daughter in these few days with your grandson and in going through the adoption ceremony.

It takes a strong person to choose adoption. Just remember the babies birthday is always going to be hard for her. Wish I had been aware of this with a certain family member.

Zoe, I am so sorry, and this must be very painful.

Of course everyone is right about adoption, and I don't mean to sound insensitive to that--I have two adopted children, so I am eternally grateful for adoption.

But still I am sorry for your loss and I wish I were there to give you a hug.

Zoe Girl I have been thinking about you and your daughter. I hope that everything went as well as possible with the adoption. There is no easy way to go through this and you and your family have been in my prayers!
