Have Your Ever Met Another Birth Mother?
Any woman who has placed a child for adoption can be part of the Foundations’ peer support network.  The Foundation will provide informal opportunities for birth mothes to connect with peers for networking, inspiration, and support.

We will host gatherings for birth mothers that provide an opportunity for them to connect with others who share their experiences as birth mothers.”
