Birth Mothers Amplified is co-hosted by friends and fellow birth mothers Muthoni and Emma. Most weeks they are joined by one or more birth mother guests to talk about adoption topics.  Birth Mothers Amplified thrives on empowering the women who make adoptions possible and allowing birth parents to speak their truths and share their stories authentically.

This week on Birth Mothers Amplified, Emma and Muthoni are joined by Maddison, a birth mother of 17 years to a beautiful teenage boy she placed in 2003. Maddison's story takes us back to when she was 14 years old and her mom suspected she was pregnant. She discussed the shame and guilt she felt navigating a pregnancy as a young teenager and how she dealt with those feelings. Maddison also had 6 weeks after birth to spend time with her son, which is another factor that is unique to her story. She also discusses how it is never too late to get help; a message we hope all expectant mothers and parents feel and learn from listening to our podcast and joining our community.
