The mission of Moms Adopting Moms (MAM) is to offer advice, encouragement, mentorship, and resources to biological moms (and dads when possible) who are doing everything in their power to reunite with their children and thrive post reunification. We begin by creating and maintaining a relationship between the bio parent and a peer mentor parent that has been in their shoes before. These mentors have had their children taken away by the Department of Family and Child Services but have since been reunited. These mentors have also been addicted to one or more mind altering substances and are now in long term recovery. All of our mentors find their greatest calling in life is to help other parents in similar situations achieve the freedom and the hope they now feel.
Secondarily, we help support a loving and nurturing relationship between the biological and foster moms. By asking the foster family to "adopt the whole family" instead of just the children, we ensure children will remain connected to their biological families, experience less trauma, biological parents will receive "forever" support, and foster parents won't have to grieve the loss of the children they have grown to love upon reunification. It's a win, win, win for everyone involved.

"Moms Adopting Moms helped me so much. They were there for me emotionally when I needed it. They helped me get cribs for my babies and a bed frame for my younger son. They helped me get clothes for my kids and helped get gifts for my kids for Christmas. Moms Adopting Moms has helped me so much and I am truly thankful for all they did for me."
