Origins - Protecting the natural right of Mothers to nurture their children from saravideoproducer on Vimeo. Award winning filmmaker Sara Aderhold graciously donated her time to produce Origins-USA’s promotional video featuring mothers telling their stories of surrender, loss, and reunion, as well as presenting facts and statistics about adoption today. The video serves as a tool to educate the public, change societal attitudes about adoption and mothers, and inform new mothers of options. Thanks to generous donations from members, Origins-USA raised $1000 to cover production costs! Many thanks also to the mothers who were interviewed for the video and to those who allowed their photos to be used in the film.
Invite your relatives and friends over and share the video with them. View it for free online, or order copies on CD by making a $5 donation to Origins-USA and note that it is for the video. It’s a sad fact that much of the public and many decision-makers still believe that women give up their babies freely and get on with their lives. Every year state legislators pass laws eroding the rights of mothers to nurture their babies. If we don’t tell our stories, they assume we have no stories to tell. That’s why it’s critical to share your experiences and that of other mothers.
