I agree that there is a difference between putting a child up for adoption and abandonment. My mother was adopted and after knowing what she knows of her birth family has alot of respect for her birth mother for having the strength to do what was right for her. However, if a child is ABANDONED by their parents it is a horse of another color. You don't abandon your kids. You can turn them over to someone if you can no longer take care of them for whatever reason. But you don't just bail out. Does the child have a RIGHT to be mad? Of course... and I think it would be odd if the child wasn't. Now on the topic of forgiveness... people confuss forgiving with forgetting... I can forgive anyone. That doesnt mean I am gonna turn the other cheek and wait for them to do it again. You must forgive to be able to move on with your life. Others dont lose sleep over you holding a grudge... if they were that good of a person, they wouldnt have hurt you that badly to begin with. Forgiving does not mean running out and trying to have a relationship with them so that they can possibly run out on you again. I have forgiven the guy who ran out on my daughter. I know that he does not lead a very good life and because of this he has no grasp on what it talkes to be a parent. I won't, however, allow her to try to find him until she is 18 and can legally make that choice herself as I know it would be setting her up for disappointment.

There is a difference between a parent doing what is best for the child, by giving them up for adoption or putting them with a relative that will and can care for them and a parent that just up and doesnt' want the responsibility of being a parent. 

Yes, the child has the right to be angry.  And hurt.  And I think they have the right to know the circumstances around it when they reach adulthood for sure.

the kids have all the right to get hurt and get mad to their parents who abandoned them. It is a normal feeling.

Forgiveness is not the answer. It is simply asking to be hurt once again. I am sorry to sound so cynical, but I have been hurt and betrayed by my own family so many times it isn't funny so for me it is difficult to forgive anyone, let alone ever trust them. It takes one heck of a person to earn my trust, and I think the only person in the world I trust 100% is my fiance. Everyone else is only limited levels of trust.

To conform is to be void of individuality!

Strong people make as many mistakes as weak people. Difference is that strong people admit their mistakes, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong.
