Pregnant and Need Help? A Birth Mother’s Guide to Moving Forward

These are some of the most common questions women ask when they first begin exploring adoption. The good news is that you don’t have to find the answers on your own.

Positive adoption language Disclaimer:     

Please understand that these blogs are written in a way to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans. Unfortunately, while all of us understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms who come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for pregnant moms is “How do I give up my baby for adoption.” If we do not include those words in our blog posts and instead put “How do Icreate an adoption plan for my baby,” then our website will not show up in most expectant moms’ search results in Google.
