Arizona Pregnancy Help

One important thing, if you take away anything from this podcast, is this, parenting an adopted child has the same two factors as any other type of parenting a child; you have a parent and a child. And we’re going to learn throughout this podcast that, when you’re parenting a child that was adopted at birth, the significant difference in parenting that child versus parenting a child that is biologically yours is going to be what you add in, not what you take away.

So, a birth mother may encounter grief when she feels like her family and friends don’t support her adoption choice. I have been working with birth moms for almost 16 years, and I’m also the daughter of a birth mother. https://azpregnancyhelp.com/adoption-choice-birth-mother-matters-in-adoption-episode-74-finding-peace-in-uncharted-waters/

Tell us about your adoption journey. Naseem: So I was in a relationship for six years and on again, off again, relationship. I was; I told him I was not on the birth control pill anymore, right? So he knew there was this chance of pregnancy, but we didn’t think it would happen because I never had a pregnancy scare even. I got pregnant on August 5th; I found out I was pregnant on August 5th, 2018, just five days before my birthday; it was going to be my 35th birthday. And so anyway, our daughter was born early. She was born at 28 weeks because I had pre-eclampsia, and she was in NICU for four and a half months.
