Hope & Healing Program

We are grateful to partner with agencies across the country through the Hope & Healing Program, providing meaningful resources and encouragement to birth moms on their adoption journeys.

To receive tote bags for distribution, please:

1) Complete this form.

2) Once your form is submitted, you will receive an email with a participation agreement and a tote bag request form. Agencies may request 5 or 10 tote bags at a time, and requests will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

Questions You Might Have

Can we add more items to these tote bags?

Absolutely! If you desire, we would love for you to include information to local resources or additional items to show love and support. Here are some possible ideas:
-Worthy by Courtney Cook
-List of local birth mom support groups
-A picture frame
-A warm blanket
-A journal devoted to letters to their child
-Lansinoh 3 in 1 breast therapy packs with info about when milk comes in.
-1000 Things You Don’t Know About Me by Piccadilly

What is expected of our agency?

We ask that these tote bags be given to women who have made an adoption plan while they are in the hospital for delivery, regardless of when the adoption plan was made. We also ask that you provide feedback on the number of tote bags distributed twice over the next year.

What if our agency does not distribute all of the totes we requested in a year's time?

That’s ok! Please hold onto any unused tote bags and distribute as the need arises. Keep us in the loop as to when you are distributing past the one year mark.

Will Hope & Healing Tote Bags be available from BraveLove each year?

That is certainly our hope! The Hope & Healing Tote Bag Program is made possible through the generosity of our donors and financial contributions from our Partner Agencies.

If these totes have been meaningful to the birth moms you serve, we would love to hear about their impact. Your feedback helps us demonstrate the value of this program, share its impact with supporters, and continue providing these resources in the future.
