I've worked in a hospital as a postpartum nurse and have witnessed the joy in parents receiving babies and the difficult decision parents make in giving up their children.

A valuable resource is www.IAATP.com  this is The Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program website.

www.spaulding.org includes information on adoption resource materials that can be ordered via the website.

Spaulding's mission is: "In collaboration with families, communities, and local, state, and national organizations, Spaulding will assure that all children grow up in permanent families and have the help they need to be successful in life."

My dream is this material become as common knowledge as the American Red Cross and all they do to save lives.
