PLEASANT HILL, CA, January 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Independent Adoption Center announced the release of the first of its kind, exclusive social networking website to support women who choose open adoption.
The Independent Adoption Center's parent site for birthmothers: iheartadoption.org is a website that addresses the issues a pregnant woman faces while she considers placing her baby for adoption. The site features prospective adoptive parent profiles and testimonials from birthmothers who chose adoption for their babies. Members of the site have the option to chat live, send messages and save their favorite families.
As an additional resource, and at the very core of the website's development, is the private social support network, intended to connect birthmoms who work with the IAC. Women who have placed, or are considering placement, can find each other online, talk and get support in a very safe and understanding environment. They can also join chat rooms, blog, upload photos and share updates.
What birthmothers are saying:
"I have been hoping for something like this for a while and it is nice to have this outlet for our emotions. Thanks!" ~ Kim (IAC Birthmom)
"I'm really glad IAC created this site; I look forward to connecting with more birthmoms." ~ Rosanna (IAC Birthmom)
"This is an awesome idea!" ~ Shannon (IAC Birthmom)
"I have had a wonderful experience with our adoption choice, and would love to help others through it." ~ Christi (IAC Birthmom)
