Natural Families

Are you young, pregnant, and single?
Do people put you down for being unmarried or young?
Are people calling you a “birthparent” or telling you that your baby “deserves a two-parent family”? Do you feel pressured to "place" your baby for adoption?

You are a natural mother. And you and your baby
together are already a family. A NATURAL FAMILY.
 A family created by God and Nature (not by
the adoption industry and State adoption laws)

The purpose of this site is to celebrate NATURAL FAMILIES in all shapes and sizes! But especially to help those natural families where young parents are under pressure to "place" their babies for adoption.

As a young expectant parent today in the U.S. or Canada, you'll see a lot of "choose adoption" advertising by adoption agencies, facilitators, or lawyers. They have customers waiting for babies - for YOUR baby. Demand for babies for adoption outstrips "supply" by 40 to 1. This means there could be up to 40 infertile couples who want your baby. You got pregnant. They couldn't.

In the face of overwhelming pressure by adopters, baby-brokers, and often their own parents, many young parents are still keeping and raising their babies!

Many mothers who surrendered ("placed") their babies for adoption have discovered the unending pain and grief that adoption professionals never told them about. Many reunited "birth-"mothers (including the 22 reunited mothers who created this site) have discovered upon reunion that adoption did incredible amounts of emotional damage to their children. That adoption is NOT "a loving option" and was NOT "in the best interest of the child."

  "I am so thankful to have found this site. I am the young mother (20) of a beautiful, 9 week old baby boy. During the end of my pregnancy, I started thinking adoption would be the best thing for my son because his father and I are not married and do not even get along. Now that he is in my life, I love him more then I could have ever imagined and wouldn't give him up for the world but sometimes wonder if I am doing the best thing for him. I have been looking for a site to give me the strength to believe I am doing the right thing. I have great support from my mom and all of my family which makes things a lot easier. I think I am doing the best thing and am going to be the best mother I can be. Thanks.:"

"Adoption is a violent act, a political act of aggression towards a woman who has supposedly offended the sexual mores by committing the unforgivable act of not suppressing her sexuality, and therefore not keeping it for trading purposes through traditional marriage. The crime is a grave one, for she threatens the very fabric of our society. The penalty is severe. She is stripped of her child by a variety of subtle and not so subtle manoeuvres and then brutally abandoned." - Joss Shawyer, Death by Adoption, Cicada Press (1979)
 
 

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP YOUR BABY AND NOT LIVE IN POVERTY! OUR NATION PROMISED IT TO US IN 1948:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations (including the U.S. and Canada) on December 10, 1948. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

" ARTICLE 25:

" (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living ADEQUATE FOR THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING of himself and of his FAMILY, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

" (2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection."

WE BELIEVE THAT OUR NATION SHOULD KEEP ITS PROMISE OF 1948. SOCIAL ASSISTANCE SHOULD BE FOR ALL FAMILIES WHO NEED IT AND IT SHOULD NOT BE POVERTY-LEVEL!
ALL CHILDREN DESERVE ALL OF THEIR NECESSITIES COVERED!
OTHER "CIVILIZED" NATIONS REALIZE THIS - WHY NOT OURS?
GOVERNMENT-ENFORCED POVERTY IS FINANCIAL COERCION OF SINGLE MOTHERS TO SURRENDER THEIR BABIES.
