BirthmomsConnect: Navigating Closed/Reunion Adoptions Support Calls
September 18 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Our BirthmomsConnect support calls are held via Zoom and available to anyone who has given birth to a child, anywhere, no matter their affiliation with the On Your Feet Foundation or when they placed. The only requirements to participate are as follows:
- You gave birth to and placed a child for adoption, and your placement is final.
- You agree to be respectful at all times.
- What is said in the group remains in the group.
Held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7 PM CST and led by birth mom and retreat facilitator Robyn Whitlock, our “Navigating Closed/Reunion Adoptions” call is for birthparents who are placed in closed adoptions (reunion is optional).
To participate, please download the Zoom app. Registration is required to join the calls.
Please note: BirthmomsConnect Calls are open to anyone who has given birth to and placed a child for adoption. If you are an adoption professional, social worker, birthfather, or other individual who is interested in learning more about our virtual support groups, please contact Jennifer Adams. Do not register for the calls. This is a safe space and we ask you to be respectful of that.
If you are a birthparent of color, LGBTQIA+ individual, birthfather, or birth family member and are interested in a support call specifically for individuals who share your story and experience, please let us know by sending an email to Jennifer Adams.
On Your Feet Foundation is committed to fostering a community that celebrates the uniquely individual experiences that have brought each of us to adoption. We strive to be a diverse, equitable, and inclusive space in order to create a culture of safety and belonging for all of our stakeholders, one in which each voice is valued and heard.
