Adotpion in Utah is changing.

So many things have changed for adoption in just less then a year. My heart goes out to those adopting, birth moms and all that know them. I was very blessed to have a smooth transition with the Utah Law and really wouldn't have it any other way.

I wonder where the birth moms will be referred to?

From the article I listed above I thought these facts were interesting as a birth mom

1. Thirty years ago, 15 percent of single pregnant teenagers and women chose adoption. Today, it’s 1 percent nationally and perhaps slightly higher in Utah, McConkie said.

One factor is that the social stigma attached to being an unwed mother has evaporated, explained Sherilyn Stinson, field group manager for LDS Family Services. If anything, there is now a stigma attached to putting one’s child up for adoption

"It’s a different world for adoption," she said.

McConkie said many couples will see that it’s cheaper to find a birth mother on their own and have an attorney handle the paperwork.



As a birth mom- I think that most people that talked to me were really supporting me and what I chose to do. I feel like that would be nicer though then going through an agency. I loved my Charity though so I can't imagine having to find a couple on my own.

If any birth moms ever want help or advice from a fellow birth mom- email me. I'll reach out to you.
