Swore for 9 months I'd never go to a group meeting, then a stranger's 2 minute voicemail changed my mind
For 9 months after placing my son I told everyone open adoption was fake and support groups were just a room of sad women comparing pain. Then a birth mom named Carla from a Facebook page called me 3 times, and on the 3rd voicemail she said her kid's adoptive parents drove 2 hours so she could watch him blow out candles, and that was it for me. I went to a Thursday night group in Akron and sat in my car for 20 minutes before walking in. Now I go twice a month and I'm the one calling new moms who say they'll never come. Anyone else here change their mind after a push like that?

Wow, so one voicemail flipped nine months of your own gut feeling? Sounds less like a changed mind and more like you just needed a friend.
