Birth Mother Matters in Adoption 9: The Life of a Birth Mother: Snowflakes

Birth Mother Matters in Adoption 9: The Life of a Birth Mother: Snowflakes Birth mothers come from all walks of life. There is no “typical” birth mother and is a mistake to stereotype a birthmother. There are often similarities, but every single birth mother is different, like a snowflake. The portrait of a birthmother has changed over the past fifteen years, but to stereotype or categorize is wrong. Attributing factors in Arizona may include, but not be limited to: Lack of Social ServicesFinancial HardshipsIncreased PovertyIncreased Drug Use Birth mothers are not all teenagers or college students, in fact we see very much the opposite. The age range I have seen in the past fifteen years ranges from the age of thirteen up until the age of forty-five. Majority of the birth mothers we work with are between the ages of twenty-two to thirty-two. Adoptions are not all open and they are not all closed. Most adoptions we see are semi-open; where they receive letters and pictures and maybe a visit or two. This is just the beginning of incorrect stereotypes surrounding adoption that we want to clarify. If you or someone you know is facing an unplanned pregnancy and considering adoption, a licensed adoption agency is the best option. Local licensed adoption agencies can meet face to face, hold your hand when needed, and can remain with you throughout your pregnancy. In addition, you can visit your case worker after placement. Building Arizona Families/ AZ Pregnancy Help is a licensed adoption agency. You can call or text us 24/7 at: 623.695-4112.
