Pregnancy Info HOME

My name is Shawna Joy and I am an author of children's books. I'm looking for a very special birthmother who has specifically chosen to not abort her baby but to birth her baby and find a home for her baby. *I'm single, with a masters, and have over 15 years experience working with children in a variety of settings. I am working with the best adoption agency, which happens to be in Ohio. This agency works with birth mothers in all states. While they are looking for a birthmom, I have decided to look too! I have an approved homestudy, which means that I have submitted references, passed all background and fingerprint searches and have the financial and emotional stability necessary to raise a child. You can contact me with additional questions at shawnajoy@aol.com. My heart is to be here for the young mothers to be, whether they choose to raise the child themselves or find a family for their baby. So if you need help with any of that feel free to ask me questions! I work at home, which I love, so I am usually available. If I do find a potential birthmother/family here, I want you to know in advance that all initial meetings/phone calls will be done through the agency to protect all parties involved. I do want an open adoption and would love for the birthmom to have contact with her baby over the years. This is important to me because, she made a great decision to have her baby and I just want her to know that. Her baby will be an example of a child who could have been aborted but instead was given life! I need to mention that I do not mind whether the baby is a boy or a girl or of a mixed ethnicity. However, I am very set in that I want a birthmother who has done her best to take care of herself and her baby during the pregnancy. This is very important to me and will be a deciding factor whether we are a good match or not. Hope to talk to you soon, even if you just need advice. I feel for young mothers. I know it's not an easy road your on. Thank you in advance for being so brave and choosing life for you little one! Much love, Shawna Joy!
