Birthmother Resources
The word "birthmother" is becoming more frequently understood to mean a woman whose child has been placed for adoption; however, it is still widely used by many to mean a woman who is making an adoption plan, and has not yet relinquished her parental rights. Information on these pages is provided for both groups: women who are considering placing a child for adoption (pre-placement), and those who have placed (post-placement).

I placed my daughter for adoption a year after she was born, the hardest decision of my life I am sure I will ever have to make and am looking for support groups in my area and it seems next to impossible to find. Communication over the internet for support is not the same as one on one interacting and talking face to face with others. There needs to be more for birth mothers and people should stop saying we gave our children away cause we didn't we gave them more, we gave them better!!!
