Didn't want to hijack the thread "Philomena" but needed more insight on LDS adoption agency.
I gave a baby up to adoption through LDS Services about 30 years ago. I am not in contact with my son due to his searching me out. It has been a bit of a struggle for me as it brings up lots of emotions and the guilt.
But, it was mentioned in that thread how horrible LDS Service is. I have so few memories of that time in my life, standing in the waiting room at my first appointment with my mother, and then the delivery room briefly. I also remember some sort of teacher coming to the house and having a discussion about sex -he was from the church so not sure what his role was. I don't remember counseling, or anything else.
I was shipped off by my parents to live with an out of town relative. As you can imagine it was a very stressful time for me.
I would be very interested to hear other people's experiences.
