Post-placement support for birth moms

“Support” isn’t just in our name — it’s our promise to you as a birth mom for all the years to come. Here’s what you can expect from our relationship when you choose adoption.

One-on-one support

Post-placement support is where ASC really shines. We’ve got your back when things get emotional, delicate or tough. Through education and support, we can help you navigate a healthy, long-term relationship with the child you placed for adoption and their adoptive parents.

Before you place your child for adoption, we’ll help you make a post-placement relationship plan. We’ll discuss tips and ideas for you to engage with your child short-term and as your child grows. We encourage you and celebrate with you as your relationship blooms.

You can lean on our post-placement team for routine newsletters, friendly phone calls and support over email or text. We’re here for you whenever you need to talk. There’s no judgment, and there’s no right or wrong way to feel.
We Celebrate You

We celebrate you as a birth mom

You’re a new mom now, and adoption doesn’t change that. As a birth mom, you deserve to be celebrated! The women at ASC will honor you by sending you a special necklace after your baby is born, and remember you on Mother’s Day with a card celebrating you.

Also, twice a year we host birth mom events. These are for birth moms to get together to celebrate and help you connect with other women who’ve chosen adoption. We have food, we share stories and connect. We’d love to see you there!
Group support

Our birth mom support groups

There’s no better way to feel supported than to talk to other women who’ve chosen adoption. ASC hosts in-person support groups for birth moms every month in Indianapolis.

Our group leaders have a way of making everyone feel heard and have insight on adoption grief. The groups use materials written by birth moms for birth moms. If you haven’t heard of @BigToughGirl, Ashley Mitchell, check her out! We are proud to partner with her to get quality support group materials for modern adoption.

If you aren’t near our in-person support group or prefer to meet virtually, we’ve still got you! Our online support group is a private place to talk with other birth moms and share your story.

If you’d like to RSVP to the support group, go to our events page.

We also encourage you to join our Facebook Group for birth moms!

Other birth mom support groups

If you need more support, you have a lot of options. From Facebook groups to other organizations around the state, there are plenty of places to turn to meet other birth moms and get the help you deserve.
