Women who lost babies to adoption are referred to as "moms", "1st moms", or "natural moms". They are mothers of adoption loss. They did not give their babies to anyone. Their babies were taken or lost to adoption!
Gossip inside and outside of our chat hurts our mission of healing from adoption wounds. Please keep chat confidential, except in emergencies.
