Calling (First) Mothers in Fully Open Adoptions


An adoptive mom (domestic OA) is working on a unique article for Redbook that features the many aspects of adoption. She’s convinced her editor that the first mother perspective needs to be shared. If you are a first mother in a fully open adoption, feel comfortable sharing your story and can logistically get a picture with you and your placed child (obviously, with parental consent) to run in the magazine with the article, please e-mail Gina. (For a bit more info, see this post on the forums.) I’ve been corresponding with Gina and trust that her intentions for the article are good and that it will be handled in the best possible manner!
