After-Pregnancy Support
Post-pregnancy support
Post-pregnancy (after your pregnancy), you’re still not alone. A New Beginning provides post-pregnancy support through birth mother mentors, professional counseling, community resource referrals and a peer support group online called “Connections, It’s a girl thing,” a private Facebook group and a private Instagram page. We also host several in-person events and mentor training throughout the year. Your mental, emotional and physical health is vital to your journey and success. This is an important time to address a big part of your emotional journey as well. We’ll invite you to join one of our very powerful support groups.
If you haven’t already, Connect to one of our Birth Mother Mentors
“I never want anyone to feel alone like I did.”
A New Beginning’s Birth Mother Mentors are birth mothers who have been through the adoption journey, they understand how difficult an unplanned pregnancy can be, the weight of all the decisions and planning for the birth of your child. None of them will say “making an adoption plan is easy…” It’s not. Each of the mentors have received mentor training and work directly with you and your adoption team. They are your strongest advocate. If you haven’t been connected to a Birth Mother Mentor, let us help you.
Most events provide you an opportunity to bring a friend who may also be experiencing an unplanned pregnancy or is at some point in her adoption or post-adoption journey. To learn more about Connections, it’s a girl thing… email quincy@adoptanewbeginning.org.
Join our Social – private communities for birth mothers
You can also request an invite via email by contacting quincy@adoptanewbeginning.org.
If you are interested in being part of the Instagram group and need help or have questions please contact Kaiti at adopting@adoptanewbeginning.org.
Sharing your Adoption Story on a panel or in a blog
Many birth mother’s find it helpful to share their own personal adoption journeys with other birth mothers or by becoming a mentor. Many also share their stories by presenting or participating in a discussion panel with adoptive families considering adoption. Not everyone feels comfortable sharing their story. A New Beginning has a blog and would be happy to share your adoption journey. Visit our blog and discover other’s stories. If you would be interested in sharing your incredible story, please let us know.
