Honor those who have been impacted by adoption

First, watch this . . .

Unplanned pregnancies happen and every person's story is different, personal and their own. As you watched the video, we hope it expanded your perspective and helped you recognize that we've all been impacted, either directly or indirectly, by the brave love of a birth mother who wanted the best for her child and chose adoption.

It takes a lot of humility, sacrifice and courage to choose adoption when confronted by an unplanned pregnancy. A woman’s decision to place for adoption is not easy and does not mean she did not want or love her child. But sometimes the world says otherwise.

. . .then send a word of encouragement.

Will you encourage a birth mom by sending a positive message her way? It will take only a second for you to fill out this form. Your words could make someone’s day or even change a life.

The decision to place for adoption doesn't mean a child is unwanted. In fact, it's the opposite. Watch this video!

Birth Mom’s give their children a gift of love by putting them first. We are truly blessed to have adopted and know how much each of our children’s birth moms love them at birth, today and forever. We thank them for the gift of love every day.

We recently had a newborn baby girl placed with us. We were contacted when her birth mom was only 6 weeks. From day 1 she knew she wanted a better life for her child. She knew she wanted her to have better opportunities to be someone special. She entrusted us with the best gift she could ever imagined. I could not call myself a mother without her. She blessed my family. We grew to love her just as much as we love our daughter. There will never be a time where I’m not thinking about how amazing and strong of a woman she is. I am forever grateful. The power that birth moms wield over an adoptive family is beautiful and amazing. She is our own personal savior and I love that we have a relationship with her!

Gone away are the times when adoption was a big secret. It can now be such a beautiful thing filled with amazing people and relationships. My daughter has so many more people to love her and pray for her and wish big dreams for her. That’s more than I could have ever imagined!

I am such an adoption fan…

When my daughter realized, in h.s., that she was pregnant, we talked over the options and agreed adoption would be best. Then we prayed our way through, as it was not an easy choice. That was 8 years ago, and my Elsa has no regrets. She stays in touch with the family, and I keep up with my beautiful, biological granddaughter through pictures on fb. It has been the most heartwarming blessing we could have wished to be a part of, all orchestrated by the Lord. I pray for strength for anyone facing this same decision; but I also want people to realize that, although not easy at the time, you’ll look back and see what a beautiful thing adoption can be.❤️

I understand that the birth mother made a difficult decision to place her child for adoption. I am thankful and feel so blessed to be able to watch my kids grow up and advocate for them. Having both biological and children who joined our family through adoption, I can tell you it is the same love. I feel fiercely protective.

Thank you for the beautiful and selfless decision you have made. I am an adoptive parent, and if it wasn’t for the ultimate sacrifice this birth mom made, I would not be a mom. You are stronger than anyone else, and you are loved and appreciated more than you will ever know

As an adoptive mother, all I can ever say to our Birth Mom is how proud we are of her, how much we love her. We may not always agree, but because of her amazing strength & sacrifice, we have an amazing son. And it’s just normal for us to “share” him with her. We are so blessed to have an open adoption. Birth Moms-our families are because of you. Thank you for you love

Being adopted was the single best thing to happen to me. I was raised in a loving home, traveled, embraced opportunities that I otherwise wouldn’t have been afforded. My parents always encouraged me to seek out my birth family. With their support, I located my birth mother. I know that my parents and I were a match made in Heaven.
