I agree with other posters that you did not give her away. You loved her enough to allow her a life that you could not provide. My wife did this in 1976 for her daughter. She has never regretted her decision because she was not in a good place at the time. It was one of the most painful decisions of her life, but she wanted and needed her child to have a good chance to be healthy and happy.

Big hugs from me and Kat. Your heart is big and although it is breaking, you did the best thing for your child.
