    Our Voices of hurts and trauma have been silenced for too long. I created this platform , BMRT 5 years ago to give us a Voice . We offering you the opportunity though this research study for the world to ‘Hear US’ .

    The First Families Project is a research study designed to hear the stories of families who have placed a child for adoption. In the first wave of this study, we are looking specifically at talking with birth mothers.

    I am asking all birth/first/natural mothers to participate in this research study .
