Expectant mothers who are considering adoption for their unborn child need to have a support system during this stressful time. Many have found help online. Here is a list of online help:

Birthmother.com - A site for expectant mothers and fathers trying to decide whether to place their child for adoption. The site is also for parents who have already chosen adoption.

Concerned United Birthparents (CUB) - “CUB's purposes are providing mutual support for coping with the ongoing challenges of adoption, working for adoption reform in law and social policy, preventing unnecessary family separations, assisting adoption separated relatives in searching for family members, and educating the public about adoption issues and realities.”

Lifemothers.com - “Offering support, resources, and compassion to all birthmoms. Founded by, Skye Hardwick, who is also a Lifemom.”

Birthmombuds - This link sends you to the “Pregnant and Placing” page of the Web site. Here you can sign up for a mentor to help you through your pregnancy and the placement of your child.
