Bethany

They sent pictures, talked to me, comforted me on everything I was going through, and always let me know it was going to be okay, and that Olivia will always know how great of a woman I am.

Mary

Now being a birthmother myself, I know it is the hardest decision of any mother’s life, especially if they are alone in the process.

Shatell

After I had the baby, I cried hard at first, but when I got to see the adoptive parents interact with the baby, I knew that was where he was supposed to be.

Ciara

I am looking forward to the future with my son and the relationship that continues to grow with his birth family.

Ocean

To anyone considering adoption: this is such a selfless decision. It is a pure act of love.

Tristen

I was looking for someone who would love my son unconditionally and give him the best life in the world and I think I made a great decision.

Renata

Once I had him and I heard that cry, I wept with happiness. He was so beautiful. I am now at peace with my decision and overjoyed for my extended family.

Mayra

I was sad and concerned at first, then I started talking to the adoptive family, got to know them, and they got to know us. We got really close.

Caitlin

After the whole adoption was finished, I was very proud of myself for making that decision because I was so young. I definitely don't regret my choice.

Ravyn

It's truly going to be ok in the end. Ask any questions you have and don't second guess yourself. Your heart knows what's best.

Brooke

I chose adoption for a better life for my daughter and my birth son.

Nothing in life is certain, but wanting your child to have more than you can offer is the biggest act of love any human could do.

I think adoption is a great choice. You can bless a family who are unable to have kids.

Love is a powerful thing and I am thankful I was led to the family I chose.

Karle

Placing my baby up for adoption wasn't a black and white decision. At first, I had so so so many doubts and concerns about it…

Sally

I fell in love with the couple that I picked the first time I met them.

Jane

I was going back to school so I could make a better life for us. I knew I couldn't take care of another baby at the time.

Brittany

Don't ever think that by choosing adoption you don't love your baby, because I love my son more than life itself…

Airyal

No one says it won't be scary or emotional, but it will all be worth it in the end.

Cassandra

The ultimate decision is yours, although it may seem hard, it’s for the better.

Stacey

I didn’t give up my baby because I didn’t want him, I wanted to make sure he was safe and had a loving family.

Cassie

I knew this child deserved more than I could give her, so in some ways, it was an easy decision.
