I received a scholarship from Lifetime Foundation as a birth mother. I hadn't immediately decided to go back to school after placing my child up for adoption, but as time passed, I wanted to make a change in my life. Even though I had gone through another agency for my adoption, it meant a lot that Lifetime still wanted to help support me financially throughout my education. I think the value and worth they show birth mothers is incredible, and I genuinely appreciate their support.
My daughter received a scholarship for birth mothers from Lifetime Foundation. She placed a baby for adoption in Texas at 16 and when she found out there were scholarships for birth mothers, it made her feel so validated for her choice. She recently graduated with her associates degree in nursing and is studying for her RN license exam. Thank you for your support, it really meant so much to her. (By the way, my daughter wants to pay it forward by donating to help others when she is a working nurse)
