We would love it if you would post our blog button on your blog!  

One of the best ways to find potential birth moms is through friends and family.  It's nice that adoption agencies can match birth mom preferences and adoptive family preferences.  But a lot of birth moms prefer to place their babies with people that they know or who are at least friends of friends.  Those birth moms will place babies with adoptive families that they hear about from other people.  We have found several birth moms this way, though none of them ended up being "our" birth mom.  Of course, we also have pass along cards with our contact information that our family and friends give out whenever they hear about a potential adoption situation. 

It  helps that most families have more open adoptions than they did in the past.  It would be difficult to have a closed adoption if the birth mom was acquainted with the adoptive family beforehand.  When we adopt, we will send letters, email, pictures, texts, etc. to our baby's birth mom.  We will also invite her to occasionally visit.  The difficult part about all of this is that many potential birth moms aren't comfortable telling all of their family and friends that they are considering placing their baby for adoption.  That's why we need people who support adoption to be so proactive.
