About Birth Mom Missions

Changing the face of adoption, cherishing life, & supporting women...one birth mom at a time!

Founded by real birth mother's for the purpose of helping other women who are going through the same process we have, but to provide them with the support we wish were available to us. Support that can only come from another birth mother.

We stress the birth mother aspect to our mission, because we feel it is what makes us a unique organization and allows us to truly "tell it like it is" to women just like ourselves. Unfortunately we missed out on a birth mom mentor but we saw the need for this. We can think of no greater satisfaction than to help women in the future that experience an unexpected or crisis pregnancy and choose life.

The grief which results from adoption loss more often follows a pattern which is the exact opposite of what one might expect in the case of other losses. Disenfranchised grief is when the grief is connected with a loss which cannot be openly acknowledged, publicly mourned or socially supported. In many cases of disenfranchised grief, the relationship is not recognized, the loss is not recognized or the griever is not recognized. The loss of a child through adoption is usually a loss which cannot be openly acknowledged, which is why mothers often suffer in silence...people who have experienced any type of loss often feel anger, guilt, sadness, depression, hopelessness and numbness and that in cases of disenfranchised grief, these feelings can persist for a very long time.

We will change this by raising awareness and supporting each other through the entire process. Many different groups of people fear birth parent grief for many reasons. We would like to shed a little light on why birth parent grief isn't meant to be scary to adoptive parents, adoptees or the general public.
We provide a service that no one really offers these women: Perhaps some try, but they are never unbiased if working in the industry. All we wanted during the adoption & after was a birth mother to speak to. It is a time when many women are vulnerable to be taken advantage of because they believe the higher authority wants what is best for them. Currently, birth mothers have no legal representation against a skilled adoption lawyer representing AP's or agency. We may not be lawyers, but we have sat next to enough women through the legal process that we understand and can help a birth mother.

We are pro-life. We are against abortion as a solution to an unplanned pregnancy. We promote life, and that will never change. We are sensitive though to all situations (My daughter was conceived through rape and therefore I feel I am not being hypocritical by saying that all children have a right to life, no matter what! Making the decision to place for adoption vs. parenting yourself is one of the hardest decisions of your life.

We are affiliated with no one, no agencies & no parents. We are all women who volunteer to help. And have stories to cover almost every turnout possible in adoption! It is impossible to classify us into one group. Birth Mother's are not invisible women and they have plenty to say if only someone would listen.

We want most of all to let our children know how much they are loved by us. I started this mission as a way of honoring my daughter. She was meant to exist & God planned her from the beginning. Every pregnancy is a gift of life, no matter how unplanned it may be or if rape occurred.

The mission touches the lives of those adopted, adoptive parents, hopeful adoptive parents, pregnant woman at risk, and the unborn and many other parts of society.
