as wife & mom (even tho took years YEARS 2find her), during that long search, met #birthmothers who taught me their #adoptiontrauma Never Ended bc never knew what happened to their baby.
in simple human decency, I knew I owed my 1st mom at least 2know whether her baby
was alive or dead.
My concern for first mothers who feel leaving a baby in a box is their only option. I discussed this on Al Jazeera. Why does someone feel this is their only choice? What support systems failed them? #FirstMothers #BirthMothers #AlJazeera #babyboxes #ReproductiveJustice

Hello good folk,
I have written a novel about birth mothers, adoptees, what happens after adoption for birth mothers plus, when the children come searching..
It’s called *How Like A Winter* and will be out soon. Hoping it resonates (I’m adopted myself) #birthmothers #adoptees #adoption #ancestors

Did you know that for more than 25 years, Abrazo has been able to award college and trade school scholarships to qualified Abrazo #birthmothers through the San Antonio Area Foundation, thanks to
the generosity of famed novelist (and AbrazoMom) Jacquelyn Mitchard?! saafdn.org/scholarships/

Me too. I'm not quite sure how this group works, but I sure would like to talk to other #birthmothers
Such important work. I spoke to 2 birth mothers as part of my PhD exploring contact experiences in SGOs. Both mothers felt strongly "I am still their mother" and described feeling "powerless" in the system #kinship #birthmothers
