Wait, What?! From the Birth Mother’s Perspective

from Let's Talk Adoption Hosted by Let's Talk Adoption

In this episode of the “Wait, What? Unexpected Things in Adoption” series, Heather and Kim share heartfelt insights from the voices often least heard in adoption — birth mothers. Discover the surprising “wait, what?!” moments they experience: the mix of deep love and grief, the comfort that open adoption can bring, the empowerment of planning an adoption their way, and the realization that the perfect family for their child truly exists. You’ll also hear how birth fathers can have a role in the process and how courage, faith, and love guide birth mothers as they make selfless, hope-filled decisions. Whether you’re an adoptive parent, birth parent, or simply someone who cares about adoption, this episode offers compassion, understanding, and a reminder that adoption isn’t about giving up — it’s about giving love and opportunity.
