( This support group began November 1, 1996 )

ne No one is forced to talk in here. You may just observe for a while and decide. 
To help people feel safe in the room, we ask that you do not ask questions of others.  They may not be ready to share their answers.  Joe and Jen will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

It is not Okay to criticize anyone for any reason. If you have a problem, email me or send me a private message.

Note:  Women who lost babies to adoption are referred to s "moms", "1st moms", or "natural moms". They are mothers of adoption loss. They did not give their babies to anyone. Their babies were taken by adoption.
We do not use the word "adopter". Adoptive parents may be referred to as such or as "A-rents" or "Aparents". We do not use  "bio", "b", "biological" or "birth" in reference to  mothers.

Gossip
inside and outside of our room hurts our mission of healing from adoption wounds. Please keep talk confidential, except in emergencies.
