Positive Adoption Language Disclaimer

Please understand that these blog posts are written to use language that people commonly use when searching for help with their adoption plans.  Unfortunately, while many of us are familiar with positive adoption language, most expectant moms that come to us at first do not understand what that means.  The most common search term on the internet for expectant moms is “how do I give up my baby for adoption.”  If we do not include those words in our blog posts, and instead put “how do I create an adoption plan for my baby” then our website will not show up in most expectant moms’ Google search results.
