Excellent adoption post, but I don't go along with the anti-Juno line. Which I have heard before. It's just a movie. It's not the film's duty to present a balanced and searching look at all possible ramifications of teen pregnancy. It's one story about one girl, and I loved that it *didn't* go down the oh-so-traumatic road. Similarly, this post is one woman's experience; I bet it's a very, very common one, but I don't think *every* birthmother has as lousy a time.

Reading that post, I was really surprised at her experience of other people's responses. As far back as I can remember the main attitude towards giving baby up for adoption that I've encountered has always been "gosh, so hard". Never "monster!" and certainly never an assumption that it's easy. So it's enlightening (and really depressing) to hear that those attitudes do apparently prevail among many people.
