We were their mothers before they were born.

We will be their mothers 'til the day we die.

Welcome to the B'FOR website.  B'FOR grew out of the realization that there was no organization which existed specifically to counteract the lies propagated by pushers of the Uniform Adoption Act, or those "six anonymous birth mothers" who felt they had the right to contravene the decision of the people.

*   Action NOW!  Things you can do to work for change.  If you find something where our voices need to be heard, let me know so it can be included.  If you think you can't make a difference, take a look -- see that even one voice can make a difference.
*   In the News  What's happening in local, national, and special area news.  Something you'd like to share?  Send it to me.  Wondering what's going on out there?  This page might interest you.
*   Schedule of Upcoming Events
Open records and other adoption related events.
Something going on that should be included?
Let me know.
Calendar   *
Links
*   B'FOR NewsLetter  Most recent copy of the NewsLetter ... and links to archives.
*   TidBitts  Odds & Ends ... not hard "news" but interesting stuff about open records?  Quotes?  Poetry?  You'll never know what you might find.
*   Members' Web Sites  A bit of recognition for those members who maintain adoption related websites, and perhaps a chance to learn a bit more.
*   Who Can Join  Full membership is open to birthmothers only. But associate and professional members are also welcome.
*   Statistics  Numbers do count.  The more members we have, the more valid the statistics will be.  Statistics are one of the primary reasons B'FOR was founded.
*   Who, me?  An attempt to give you an idea of who I am, and why I'm motivated to push for open records.
*   WebRings & Links  As part of the redesign of this site, all links and webrings have been moved to their own page.





Special Note:     The membership rolls and mailing list will not be shared with anyone.   Any time that I or another member feels that names and contact info are necessary to one project or another, it will be included on the "Action NOW!" page, the calendar, and/or a special edition of the newsletter which will be sent out.  Members can then participate when/where they feel comfortable doing so; no one will be keeping score.   :)
All information requested when joining [position in triad or professional status, age, state of residence, state of relinquishment] will be used solely for statistical purposes, with the exception of your e-mail address being used to send the NewsLetter and the use of your name to address you.  Actual names are not mandatory, but would be greatly appreciated; having a true name in my records assures me that the statistics eventually generated will be valid.
