Our unique feature is "The buddy system," where a birthmother is paired with another birthmother of similar interests, adoption types, and locations for healing and friendship via email. We also have a new and special area for young women pregnant and considering adoption, called "What to Expect When you are Expecting to Be a Birthmom." We offer a mentoring program where potential birthmothers are matched with already placed birthmothers for support and guidance.
