Adoption in the City
http://racilous.wordpress.com – “Racilous” is a birth mom living in New York who chose a gay couple to adopt her son. They have an open adoption. BirthMom Buds Blog http://birthmom-buds.blogspot.com/ – This blog actually has several authors, all birth mothers, that post about their varying experiences and issues related to adoption as they see it. Endure for a Night http://susiebook.wordpress.com/ – This birth mom, now raising kids of her own as well, placed her son with a lesbian couple. She has an interesting take on the trauma that adoption can cause to a mother. Living the Bittersweet Life http://livingthebittersweetlife.wordpress.com / – This birth mom is one of the founders of BirthMom Buds. This is the blog that she’s dedicated to her experiences as a birth mom. She had a great and very open relationship with her son and his parents for about 9 years, but no longer has the same relationship. Living through today http://lisaanne119.blogspot.com/ – This birth mom, also raising three children, has a strained relationship with her young daughter’s parents.

The Chronicles of Munchkin Land http://thechroniclesofmunchkinland.com/ – This birth mom is raising two sons and relinquished a daughter. She writes on her blog about general adoption issues as well as how they relate to her personal adoption story. First Mother Forum http://www.firstmotherforum.com / – Like the BirthMom Buds blog, this blog has several different authors. A lot of people might consider these birth mothers against adoption because of the way they write and the subjects about which they choose to write. However, I’ve provided this link because they do call attention to much-needed reforms that need to take place in the United States, and their personal experiences with adoption have shaped how they see adoption and write about it as well. |
