Bravelove – Why Adoption? Laura’s Story

Adoption, Birth Mothers, Birthparent Stories

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 Laura’s story. Beginning her senior year of high school, Laura found out she was pregnant.  She had no idea how adoption would be more beautiful than she ever planned.

“It was a tough decision, but the right decision for me.”

Beginning her senior year of high school, Laura found out she was pregnant. Neither parenting nor abortion felt like the right choice. So she moved forward with an adoption plan. With a lot of trust and vulnerability, adoption became surprisingly more beautiful than she expected.

“When we made the decision to proceed forward with this open adoption, they promised to keep it open and to pour into her and let her know she was loved.”

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