Adoption & Beyond is a partner agency with BraveLove – a pro-adoption movement dedicated to changing the perception of adoption by acknowledging birth moms for their brave decision – and together we bring you some honest stories directly from birth parents.

Watch the video below for Courtney’s story.

“The best time to learn your worth is today.”

When Courtney found herself facing an unexpected pregnancy, she began a journey of seeing herself in a new way. Through that experience—and many others—she came to realize that her worth wasn’t determined by her past or the circumstances she faced.

In this new video, Courtney shares her story with honesty and wisdom. Her hope is that others will be reminded that their past doesn’t define them and that every person has value and worth.

This is Courtney’s story and why she chose adoption.

As a social worker who helped women with unexpected pregnancies, I saw that adoptions needed more heart and connection! I created Adoption & Beyond to create genuine connections between birth and adoptive families. Then life threw me the most beautiful plot twist – I became an adoptive mom myself! Talk about on-the-job training! For over 30 years, I've guided families through adoption with transparency, education, and ongoing support long after the "welcome home" balloons are gone. Feeling uncertain? I'm here to walk beside you on this amazing family-building journey.
