What mothers have to say about adoption and parenting

We are mothers who have surrendered or "placed" our babies for adoption. Unlike adoption agencies, that stand to make money from convincing you to surrender your baby, we are not making money from this. In fact, most of us devote a significant amount of time, energy, and money towards helping young mothers keep their babies: volunteering at single parent groups, mentoring young moms, lobbying for improved financial support for mothers, donating to organizations and services to help young moms, and helping out mothers in our own families.
