I am looking for an article on the advantages of adoption for the baby and the birthmom. I am dealing with a young mom who might be considering adoption, but would want some advantage information.

Thank you!

Family is secure, stable and able to love and care for the infant

Birth mother will have less chance ending up on public assistance

Birthmother will have greater success in life economically

I placed my daughter for adoption in 1991 and have gone back to school on a scholarship just for birth mothers from the Lifetime adoption foundation. I placed my child with another agency in Seattle and just learned about the birth mother scholarships this year. I qualified with a c grade point average and verification from my adoption from the agency I went though. I was told about it from my guidance counselor.
I say Horary for any organization that is thinking of us long after others have forgotten about us. If you are interested you can find out more by e mailing the foundations non profit office at foundation@lifetimeadoption.com I don't have there number handy but you can ask for it by e mail and an application.
Hope this helps
