Birth Mother Matters in Adoption #49: What Do Birth Mothers Fear About Adoption?

These are 10 of the most common fears:

• People will think I am a terrible person, a bad mom and they will never look at me the same.
• What if no one wants my baby?
• What if the adoptive parents don’t follow through on our open adoption plan?
• What if I change my mind?
• What will I tell people when they ask about my pregnancy?
• Will the OBGYN Office judge me?
• How will I know if I choose the “right” adoptive family?
• What if I have used drugs during my pregnancy- will the adoptive family still want my baby?
• What if the father of my baby changes his mind and wants the baby?
• I will be alone after the baby is placed for adoption.
