To the Mothers of all different kinds, we wish you a Happy Mothers Day! We know this can be a complicated day, often defined by what many women feel they are not, rather than what they truly are to so many who love them. But we see mothering that comes in all shapes and sizes, and want to say thank you and we love you!

Did you know the day before traditional Mother’s Day is considered Birth Mother’s Day? A special day to recognize the unique space occupied by mothers who have placed a child for adoption. The title Birth Mother may come with a unique combination of pride and grief, and today we give these mothers the special recognition they deserve.

Do you know what a home study is? It's an important part of the adoption process, a critical step to ensure families have the appropriate resources and preparation to adopt children. While sometimes it can feel like a frustrating hoop to jump through, it is actually an incredibly important safeguard for vulnerable children. And when adoptive families approach it from the right mindset, it can also be an important learning opportunity. In any scenario, the home study is often the first critically important step in an adoption journey. Because of that, it is important to work closely with experienced providers for your home study. Adoption Life would love to help you with that.

Myth vs Reality. Many families feel they are not perfect enough to adopt a child from the foster care system. The truth is, kids need families who are committed and open to learning about the unique needs of children with trauma backgrounds. They need families who will love and support them through tough times and who will approach parenting with a flexible, informed perspective. Perfection is not required; commitment is.
