Hi,
I don't have any personal experience but I know people who are adopted and who have put their babies up for adoption. The actual process will depend on what country you live in. For example in New Zealand you can choose the parents you want your baby to go to and you can choose whether to have an open or closed adoption. Closed is like the old-fashioned style where you have no further contact with the baby unless they find you once they're an adult. Open is where you would visit or write or send photos ets and have an ongoing role in your child's life even though you're not the child's legal parent - more like an aunty or something.
The people I know who are adopted love their parents and some want to find their birth mothers and others don't as they feel they don't need to. They were all told they were adopted once their parents thought they were old enough to understand.
Hope this helps a bit.
