Birthparent Request Column

Several birthparents have expressed the wish to read about other birthparents’ feelings before and after an adoption plan. Their question is, “What feelings might I have if I go through with an adoption plan?” Would anyone like to suggest any particular published essays or books? Do you have thoughts or experiences you would like to share? One book to consider is, The Third Choice: A Woman's Guide to Placing a Child for Adoption, Second Edition, by Leslie Foge and Gail Mosconi. This book has birthmothers as the intended audience. We are grateful for your thoughts on other good resources!
