The BAF Domestic Adoption
January 2022 Newsletter
Happy New Year! I hope your holiday time was filled with celebration and joy! And I know we are all hoping for a much brighter, happier 2022!
Our 2021 Domestic Adoption Annual Report is now available online for your review. Despite the numerous challenges of 2021, we are celebrating that we are able to place 48 newborn babies into the arms of loving adoptive families. That means 48 babies given the gift of life and a promising future, and 48 adoptive families whose prayers were answered and hearts filled with joy!
Plus, we served 85 birth mothers – vulnerable women experiencing a crisis pregnancy that urgently needed help. And for those whose babies were adopted in 2021, we were privileged to support these courageous women with the practical support they need to move forward with education, jobs, and a brighter future.
I hope you will celebrate with us and take a few moments to view our annual report. Our staff has worked tirelessly and I am so very proud of how they care for every single person that they serve. Rest assured that we enter 2022 with fresh vision and determination to help even more vulnerable pregnant women in crisis, unborn babies, and adoptive families.
All the best,
Kelly Rourke-Scarry

December Babies
Esubio
Esubio’s heart was broken at the thought of placing his son for adoption. He suffers from seizures and as a result, struggles to stay employed. He did not want his son to struggle with lack of adequate opportunities for his future, and although the decision was heart-wrenching, he takes comfort knowing that his son is being loved and given every opportunity for his future that Esubio did not have. He knew that, despite how hard it was to place his son for adoption, it is what was best for him. Watch his story HERE.
Birth Mother Matters Podcast
Sexual Violence, Pregnancy, and Adoption
 Sexual violence has a tremendous impact on pregnancy and adoption. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. It is extremely prevalent amongst birth mothers in the adoption world. In speaking with birth mothers for the past 16 years, I do hear stories of sex trafficking, of women that have been sexually abused and raped, and it is an exceedingly sensitive subject. Learn more about this tragic topic on Season 2, Podcast Episode #119. Tune in here. |
