CUB - Concerned United Birthparents
http://www.cubirthparents.org/
CUB is a national organization serving those touched by adoption and others who are concerned about adoption issues. Although our focus is on birthparents, long the forgotten people of the adoption community, we welcome adoptees, adoptive parents, and professionals. We find that we all have much to learn from each other and that sharing our feelings and experiences benefits all of us.

The Mothers Project
http://www.themothersproject.com/home.htmlThe Mothers Project is a program of poems, narratives, images and songs about the millions of "unwed" mothers from past generations who were forced to surrender their babies for adoption. The goal of TMP is to educate audiences about the past, to alert young girl/mothers about their vulnerability, and to encourage agencies, courts and baby brokers to end adoption coercion. I urge women-of-conscience to not adopt. I also hope adopted people will see TMP and have compassion for their mothers who didn't "give" them away. We were not "gifts." |
