Birthmother

A birthmother is a woman who is pregnant and chooses to give her baby up for adoption instead of raising the child herself. This decision might be made for various reasons, such as financial challenges, personal circumstances, or not feeling ready to become a parent. The birthmother's rights and feelings are important in the adoption process, and she often works with agencies or professionals to ensure the baby's best interests are prioritized. Once the baby is born, she may have different options for ongoing contact or involvement, depending on her preferences and the agreement made with adoptive parents.
