Welcome to
Birth Mother Resources

Birth Mother Resources was created to help any woman who wants to know more about her pregnancy, about the child she has delivered or may give birth to in the near future, and about resources that can help her to either raise the child herself or to place the child for adoption.  No matter what your situation, we want to help you and your child.

Includes information on financial assistance, help concerning medical and health issues, concerns about nutrition, diet, and weight gain, drugs and alcohol concerns, as well as birth mother resources and information on labor and delivery, on selecting a hospital or birthing center, and on pre and post-delivery depression.  Also included is information on prenatal care, morning sickness, and a pregnancy calendar that will give a birth mother a guide to all the changes taking place in your body on a week by week basis. Finally, there are birth mother resources for support groups and for crisis centers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Assistance can be available to any birth mother at any stage in the pregnancy or birth process.  This section includes a listing of agencies A-Z that can help you, benefits and services offered through a variety of governmental programs, and resources on child welfare agencies.
