Effects of adoption on the birth mother

Adoption is when a mommy or daddy can't take care of their baby, and another mommy or daddy wants to give them a loving home. Sometimes, this can make the first mommy or daddy feel happy because they know their baby will be safe and loved.

But, it can also make them sad and have big feelings because they love their baby so much and wish they could keep them but can't. It's okay to feel sad, and some mommies and daddies might need help and support to feel better.

Sometimes, the birth mommy may choose to have an open adoption, which means they can still have a relationship with the baby and the new mommy or daddy. Other times, they may choose to have a closed adoption, which means they won't be able to see the baby anymore.

No matter what the mommy chooses, it's important to remember that adoption is all about love and making sure the baby has the best life possible.
