Birthparents are often the forgotten piece of the adoption triangle. Adoption is never an easy choice.  While you made a loving decision for your baby, there is relatively little support or preparation for the grieving, relinquishment or emotions you may experience afterward.

The Central Minnesota Birthparent Network is an information and support network in St. Cloud designed for birthparents -- individuals or couples who have placed a child in an open or closed adoption -- to meet.  Meetings are facilitated by a “birth parent” for birthparents, at the Birthline office.  Meetings are free and open to Birthline clients and the public.
