Are there any good forums or message boards for birth parents?

Question

I'm 16 years old and I just had my wonderful son on the 11th. I gave him up for adoption to the best family a birth mother could wish for. I hate to feel like I'm bothering them when I call but of course I miss my son. I have one friend who adopted her son but she is also a full time student and is busy a lot. Are there any good forums or message boards for birth parents?

Answer 1

i found this site to be pretty non-biased.  many who post here are bmoms who wish to offer support to new bmoms.  

good luck...

Answer 3

Adoption.com   There are parts that are just for First Mom's, and there are parts that are for adoptive mom's too.  If you have an open adoption, there are lot of places you can check out to get advice.  Good Luck, and god bless...my husband and I are in the adoption process right now.

Both of these site are exclusively for mothers who lost to adoption. Very caring women who know some of the feelings that you are experiencing.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please do find a group where you can talk about your feelings and process your grief.

Answer 5

I am also a birth mother and I often go to the site birthmombuds.com it is a site strictly for birthmoms and the ladies on the forum are great.
