I remember how much the workshop (Adoption Through the Eyes of the Birth Mother) impacted my husband and I. We attended that workshop almost 5 years ago but it was so powerful that I remember it like it was yesterday.
The birthmothers of my 2 sons are my heros. The sacrifices and strength that birthmothers have is an amazing and beautiful thing.

Birth mothers are so very brave and loving to make the loving sacrifice of placing their child for adoption when they are not in a place to provide for this baby. Brenda gives many wonderful insights to her experience.

Thank you Melissa for continuing to bring real faces to light when we educate our parents about the birth mothers that we work with so often. Having the two brave and loving mothers present their stories to your group is exactly what helps our adoptive families see the other side of their child and builds empathy which always builds the bonds of attachment to all…

I felt so priviledged to be present to hear these women share their stories. I wish more people could have the opportunity to understand the emotions and feelings that birth parents experience over the years of their child’s life. Thank-you!
