Once you've completed your birth mother search, meeting a likely birth mother is nerve wracking and scary. This first encounter can establish an impression and understanding between both parties. The way you two get along will heavily influence whether or not a birth mother wishes to follow through with the adoption process.

Meeting a potential birth mother can be the beginning stages of one of the most exciting events in one's life. But in the excitement, it's important to remember your priorities in seeking to add a new member to your family, while also remembering to honor the priorities of the birth mother you are meeting as well.

Impossible Choices presents the story of two women pregnant with fetuses that had major defects, each had to decide whether to give birth or terminate the pregnancy.

Babies are born into a variety of situations and different kinds of families. The baby may be a firstborn or one of many siblings. Some babies have one parent, others have two. Some are born into traditional nuclear families, others into stepfamilies. Some pregnancies are carefully planned, while others may come as quite a surprise. This booklet contains information on pregnancy, birth and parenting. It also gives advice on how to take care of your baby and where you can find help and support. In addition to this guide, your local prenatal and child health clinics are there on-hand to offer support and advice on good parenting. For further assistance, you can also contact your maternity hospital, as well as the many other organisations mentioned in this booklet that are dedicated to child and family support. We hope that this booklet will be a useful guide in the preparations for a new addition to your family

Being the care provider and sole guardian of a child is a tremendous responsibility. It's a never-ending duty. It's also a rewarding experience. You will play a major role in shaping the person they grow up to be.
