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 we have the privilege of hearing Katie's adoption story. Katie was a previous guest on our panel discussion about holidays and we wanted to give her an opportunity to share her unique story. Katie has some incredible insight as she discusses what it is like to hit the 18 year mark post-placement with her son. She placed in 2002 as a 9th grader navigating a relationship with her boyfriend of 7 months at the time. She shares the raw emotions she still feels today as she recalls her teenage pregnancy as the emotions she feels now that her son is no longer a minor. What a blessing it is to hear the wisdom, experiences, and lessons Katie has gained and learned from her adoption journey. We are so grateful to Katie for her willingness to share her story!
