- Too often these days, adoption is the choice left unsaid and forgotten. But not for Emmah.
Here's the true story of a 17-year-old, high school student from a small town. Outgoing and fun, she plays volleyball and loves hanging out with her friends. As she says, “Perfect in my eyes is having that normal high school experience, being a part of everything. After I found out I was pregnant, that’s not it anymore - I have a different priority now.”
When she first learned she was pregnant, Emmah didn't want to have a baby. But then she realized, “I don’t want to take a child’s life away whenever they can be an amazing person - a person I get to know.”
Emmah didn’t know how everything worked with adoption. But then she went online and found BraveLove where she watched real stories of birth mothers. From there, she connected with an adoption agency that helped her find a family.
BraveLove first met Emmah at a retreat for birth moms. Emmah stepped forward, eager to share her story. Now here it is.
Visit www.bravelove.org for more birth mom stories, adoption resources, and information about the mission.
Special thanks to Emmah for so bravely sharing her story. And to her family and friends that opened their lives to this story and how it continues to unfold.

My son was adopted this year and it has been a rollercoaster of emotions 😭 I can totally understand where you're coming from. I absolutely love my son's adoptive parents and we are like one big family 🥹❤️
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story Emmah!
I'm an adoptive mother x 3 and I am so grateful that we didn't have a 6 month span of time between our childrens' hospital stays and our first visits together. I don't think our oldest child's birth mother could've made it to that first meeting had she needed to wait. We began our visits with # 2 and # 3 when they were weeks old and our meetups 2.5 hours away have floated along as needed since then. I hope this time limit is lifted when a Birth Mother feels the need to see their child. Bonding can happen any time and having an hour meeting with a bio parent is not going to stop or change bonding.
Nice video
