Birth Mother Brunch

24th Annual Birth Mother’s Brunch – Saturday, May 10, 2025

In 1990 a group of birth mothers in Seattle, WA wanted to remember and honor the decision they made to place their children for adoption. They created what is now known as Birth Mother’s Day, a day in which birth mothers are honored and recognized for their courageous and loving adoption decisions. Birth Mother’s Day is nationally recognized on the Saturday before Mother’s Day.

After hosting our Annual Birth Mother Dinner for 18 years we decided it was time for a change. In 2019 we hosted a Birth Mother Brunch on Birth Mother’s Day itself! Along with a new day and time, we were also at a new location: Grace Church in Eden Prairie.

If you have never attended our Birth Mother Event before, we encourage you to consider attending our brunch in May 2025. This is a wonderful way to connect with other birth mothers and to share about your adoption journey with people who really understand, because they chose adoption, too!

Birth mothers are welcome to attend no matter which agency they placed through. All birth mothers attend free of charge and are encouraged to bring a guest. Each guest is kindly asked to pay $10 via credit card at the door.

“It’s one of my favorite events that New Life holds. I’ve been coming every year since I placed my daughter.”

“I love to connect with other birth moms and I always hope to encourage birth moms.”

“I love the love and support of this event. It is the one thing I count on for this weekend every year.”
