This is the touching story and counsel about adoption from Tamra, a birth mother. Please watch it and share it with others to understand the perspectives, peace and joy that can come from adoption. If You Are Pregnant… Its not uncommon to feel that your only options are abortion or raising your child on your own. There are other options; and the decision is yours. No one else will live daily with your decision, which is why no one else can make this decision for you. The best thing you can do for you and your future child is to educate yourself about your options and feel confident that you have found the solution that is right for you.

I was adopted as a baby and it was a closed adoption. I hope to find my birthmother someday and get to know her and get some answers.
OH! thank you SO much! that is so gratifying! now it’s your turn. those of us who know the truth about adoption gotta let our stories be heard! enormous props for your choice and i wish you peace and healing! thanx again for your comment!
This video really helped me make my decision. Recently I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Thanks for helping me make my decision so much better. Your baby is so beautiful Hope that other make the right decision and go for life and adoption even though it breaks our hearts children are such great joys and adoption has been a gift for me as well.
Wow… you are so amazing, Tamra. I especially liked what you said about there being NO easy way out of a crisis pregnancy – whatever decision is made will be with you forever. Congratulations on giving birth to a beautiful boy who was placed on this Earth for a distinct reason… and more congratulations and thanks for loving him enough to give him MORE. Amazing, amazing lady.
You made the right choice, Tamra.
Very very good video. I wish it was broadcasted to every pregnant teenager out there considering abortion.
My mother who turns 45 this months is addopting one of my best friends baby’s. Im here to say that adoption is a beautiful thing. My mother has wanted another child for years now but because of Cervical Cancer could not have any more. My friend who i’ve known for years already has one son is struggling to get by right now. She chose to come to us instead of an adoption agency which made me and my mother extreemly happy. I’ll have a new baby brother next month. Im very happy
I was adopted when I was young by my foster mother, because my biological mother was addicted to drugs/alcohol.
I thank God above that I was taken in to a wonderful family, who led me to find God in the first place, while being loving and supportive the entire way. I think family is one of the blatant proofs of God’s existence. ^_^
I was adopted as a baby and I couldn’t have asked for better parents..I thank God my biological mother made the choice she did.
I am anxiously waiting on the birth of our adopted baby in 3 months. The birth mother is committed to it and it helps she’s a family friend. However, I will be on pins and needles until thirteen days after the birth when the revocation period ends. I’m 29 and while I haven’t conceived on my own, we have not started fertility treatments. The birth mother asked us so we’re starting a family just as spontaneously as if I’d gotten pregnant. I’m so excited!
Thank you for sharing your story. As a waiting adoptive parent, this really means a lot to me that you would share your very personal story.
We need to teach people that adoption is a way forward and such a precious gift ,not just to the adoptee’s but for the child as well as the birth parents.Life is so precious .Please be patient your child will come God Bless x
i started by offering my services, to agencies and organizations who support adoption, as a mentor to those in crisis pregnancy or an adoption educator in whatever capacity was available. opportunities have just compounded on eachother and doors have opened. i strongly encourage all who have been blessed by adoption to be advocates. there’s lots of work to be done. all we have to do is tell or stories to the people in our circle of influence. it will change hearts.
as the adoptive mom of two beautiful girls i was eager to hear your story. i am so glad that i did as i feel empowered by it.. thank you so much and bless you for sharing .
Beautifully said alathem02 …
Very best wishes!
I am on a 6 year adoption list. That is 6 years to adopt a baby! More women need to choose life over abortion!
Beautiful!!! Great respect for Tamra … a difficult but unselfish choice … and one which has obviously enriched so many lives!
Abortion should never be an option!
Thank you for sharing this!
I don’t know if any men have commented here, but… My wife and I are childless, not by choice but by nature. I do not *know* firsthand what it is like to be a father , but when I see a happy child, my heart is glad; when I see a child mistreated, my heart hurts. A lot. Mothers-to-be, listen: if you cannot give a home to a child, at least give other people a chance to do so.

I like that song “From Gods Arms to my Arms to Yours” because there is a line “This may not be the answer for another girl like me, but I’m not on a soapbox saying how we all should be…I’m trusting in my feelings and I’m trusting God above, and I’m trusting you can give this baby all his mother’s love…”
My friend single parented because she had the resources to do so, but adoption was def. for me
Luck now a days, open adoption is more and more common
Though I have a few friends who have closed adoptions but at least wrote a letter to their child and update their contact information regularly if that time ever comes 
Thats actually who I went through and placed my daughter with
I love the atmosphere!
I was adopted when I was 3 by a great dad. My mother after he adopted me, left and did drugs. That is true abandonment.
I placed my daughter for adoption in 2007 when I was 17. Its an Open adoption and I see her all the time. I agree with her statements about adoption.
Every situation is different and adoption isn’t for everyone, but adoption isn’t horrible either.
I can really relate to this speaker, very inspirational
Adoption is a beautiful live giving choice…
I am the adoptive mom to a 6 year old little girl and we have an open adoption and i love it!!
