Special Thursday Birthmom chat
Meet Courtney
Thursday at 8:30 p.m Mountain Time(7:30 Pacific, 9:30 Central, 10:30pm Eastern time) in the birthfamily room. The purpose for this chat is unique in that it will be used for a spotlight article on adopting.org. Anyone interested in getting your voice heard, telling your story, or offering insight into the hearts of birth mothers is welcome! We will discuss pre and post adoption issues, open verses semi-open, recovery, and other significant issues including how we made our choice. If you have any questions or this time will not work for you please contact Courtney at: Courtney_adopt_org@msn.com <mailto:Courtney_adopt_org@msn.com>
