I've known several woman who had an equivalent reaction years after an abortion. (I also, incidentally, know a small number of women who kept their babies who later came to regret that decision for both themselves and their children just as much.) There's never a totally safe choice with difficult decisions like an unplanned pregnancy. But I suspect a component of her counseling was reminding herself that he ostensibly went to a loving home who has cared well for him. The perception that adoption is really just leaving them to the wolves is part of the problem.
