Oh the things we carry in our hearts for a lifetime. That hurt will never go away but the important thing is that baby was brought up in a good and loving home by people who really wanted and needed her. And, one day, if she chooses, she can ask to meet you. I pray that she does and that your story will have a happy ending.

being adopted myself can understand and aye, she'll want to contact you when shes told and old enough to decide.
good luck sweetheart. hug

Don't feel bad, you did what you felt you had to do. In my world, girls have babys even when the circumstances are similer to yours. I'm sure that you are middle to upper class and white, huh? The reason that I bring that up is because I am seeing the cultural differences when it comes to making decisions like that one. I believe though, that it takes just as much courage to give a baby up for adoption as it does to have the baby, so I dont' want you to think that I am downing you. It's just that it's a trip how different cultures have different ways of handling things. I mean, a upper to middle class white family would in some cases opt for adoption when a low income minority family would have the baby. And the white family is actually in the position to give the child a good life. All in all, as long as the child has lots of love, GOD will provide everything else. Again, I am not against your decision and I am actually giving you props for being able to do that (I couldn't), you did a very unselfish thing. Was it your decision or your parents? What do you think your life would have been like if you had not have done that? I also pray that you are able to one day reunite with your child if that is your desire. And your story will probobly help some little girl somewhere. Peace.
