What One Woman Wishes She'd Known Before Placing Her Child for Adoption

What One Woman Wishes She'd Known Before Placing Her Child for Adoption



In the adoption world, adoptive parents usually get the most spotlight, with adoptees and birthparents getting less attention. I'm interested in bringing to light more stories from birthparents and adoptees to spread awareness of their experiences with adoption to promote healthy conversation. I recently had the chance to interview Brina Collins, a young woman who placed her child for adoption earlier this year, on the positives and negatives about her adoption experience and what she wishes she had known. This is the perspective of one birthmother, based on her personal experiences. She recognizes that other women may have had different experiences and does not claim to speak for all birthmothers. We'd love to hear your comments, but please be respectful to Brina and her experiences.
