YOU. US. TOGETHER.
We have come to realize that it isn’t “us” helping “you”, as it is just “us”—all uniquely broken humans, equally worthy of grace, on this journey called life, doing it together.

Mommies Matter has impacted my life in so many ways. Words could never articulate the appreciation I have for my new found family. These incredible women have given me a sense of hope, family, and support; these were the things I truly needed and didn’t even know. I came to Mommies Matter in such a broken state of mind, carrying strength on the outside, but inside so broken, so conflicted. I had an unexpected pregnancy with a person who was mentally and physically toxic, and I was drained, hurt, and confused about what to do. My family support was slowly dissipating and I didn’t have anyone.During my first meeting with Mommies Matter, I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect, but I felt I was in the presence of angels walking on earth, so I started to feel at ease. I went through the interview process, and expressed that I was interested in exploring the option of an adoption plan. It wasn’t long before I knew that adoption was the decision that made the most sense for my family. I’m already a single mother of three children with little family support and I knew I would struggle further to adequately take care of all of my children by myself. Mommies Matter completely supported me in my discernment of adoption, but I was assured that the MM program would also make sure I would have the resources I needed if I decided not to place my child for adoption. It was so awesome knowing that I had support in both parenting options!My baby was recently born and I did make the decision to place her for adoption. I’m learning just how strong I am, and that I am a work in progress. Starting over isn't that bad, especially with the Mommies Matter family by my side.ommie Spotlight: Irene
