Birth Mother Support Groups |
Support groups for birth mothers and birth fathers are difficult to find on a national scale and most are on the local level. Thy can be very helpful
in that you can talk to other birth parents who have gone through some of the same experiences you may be having. Many support groups can help you with individual issue and many serve as a forum for
reuniting birth parents with children. The quality of the search groups varies greatly, so you may have to contact several before you find one that fits your needs and where you feel comfortable.
Listed here are some to help you get started.

This birth mother email support group was started by a birth mom. "It is a place that we can talk about our feelings about giving our children up, our search efforts, our reunion issues , and also a place that we can talk about the other
thousand things going on in our lives! We want it to be a place that other birth moms will feel comfortable. If you are a mom, I would like to invite you to join our group. It comes to you by way of email.
It cannot be read by anyone that is not a subscriber and it is only for birth moms." |
