Doesn’t placing my child for adoption mean I don’t love him or her?

Placing a child for adoption is the most selfless act a mother could ever be a part of.  It requires a level of heroic strength to place the needs of a child above your own. It is only because you love that child so much that you want to give him or her something better.  That something can be very individualized…more opportunities, financial stability, a two parent home, maturity, a better life than you can provide at the moment, etc.  It doesn’t mean you are not or cannot be a good mother.  It means that this isn’t the right time.  Absolutely, without a doubt, you can place a child for adoption and still love him or her.

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.
