CAFO 2022 Birth Mother Panel, Atlanta, Sept.29, '22

A First-Hand Look Into The Hearts & Minds of Moms Who Place for Adoption (60 minute Workshop Panel) This is a very rare opportunity to hear directly from birth moms -- why they chose adoption for their babies, what they expected and what was on their hearts at the time. Learn whether & how they stayed involved in the child's upbringing, how they got support & care after placement, and how they feel now looking back on their decision. Two women took the stage with me were absolutely fabulous:  calm, poised, open, articulate and so sincere about their experiences.  They were a huge blessing to all who attended.   Comments from the CAFO Panel Evaluations What was the most helpful thing you learned? Everyone's story is different, each adoption is different Open adoption is healing for the birthmom and benefits child (ID) for all their life Consistent visits are important! Boundaries change over time. As in any relationship, communication is key. What was the most surprising thing you learned?  There CAN be a healthy, significant relationship between the birth mom and adoptive parents  Birth moms also don't like the term "giving up".  "Intentionally place" is much better Post-placement support for birth mom is vital.
