*small wave* Hi ladies (and possible gentlemen)

Birthmother here, I decided to wander over to check out this board. I hope it's okay that I post here too? I mean, I'm putting my little guy up for adoption due to unfortunate circumstances in my life, but I mean, at least he'll find a good home and grow up happy, right?

I see a ton of threads about everyone looking for birthmothers, but not a lot of threads by birthmothers, soo.. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes ^^;

But yes, hello, pleased to meet everyone

Welcome! I'm a birthmom in a very open adoption- also chose it due to some difficult circumstances. I even breastfed and pumped breast milk for my daughter and and close to her whole family. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask or PM me! I know that where you are is a scary time in life. Have you chosen ab agency or prospective adoptive parents, yet?

Also, remember that you're still an expectant mom, and just mon until you sign those papers.

it's a great choice for some, like me. I've never regretted it. But for others it's not the best choice once they meet their LO, which is OK and your right.

So glad to have you here!

Hello! I'm a birthmom as well and I love coming to this board and reading about all the adoptive parents stories! It fills my heart with joy (most of the time), and I love remembering my own story

I have an open adoption with my daughter Brooklyn, who with her parents live in another state. I had a scheduled induction so they could be in the room and Amanda (Brooklyns mom) was the first to hold her! After her Birth her dad Patrick came in the room and cut the cord the second time! They stayed in the room next to mine in the hospital and it was such a wonderful experience! I love coming here and remembering all the good that has come from adoption, and what got me through the hard days was seeing and hearing about the joy that was brought to Brooklyns parents.

I always told Amanda if I could I would have all their kids for them if I could haha! But I am now married and have settled down with a WONDERFUL husband

Love that birthmothers are welcome here too!

I also just learned it's either impossible to get to this forum via The Bump's app, or it might be super cleverly hidden in the forum boards..

But yes, hello everyone

thanks for the warm welcomes, you're all super sweet!

I'm sorry if I mis-term anything/use any incorrect term. I didn't know that 'birthmother' was after you had the baby o~o; I guess that would make sense though, huh?

@reiden no need to apologize! I'm not offended by it nor do I think we're some super exclusive club. I used to use the same phrase when I was pregnant. I simply want to make sure you know that you 100% have the right to parent until you sign those papers. I'm such an advocate for adoption but also for women deciding to parent, too.

Want a personalized experience?
