Biological Parents
There is a lot of stigma around FASD. Birth moms children with FASDs often feel shame due to that stigma. There are resources, supports and testimonials to encourage community and personal acceptance and understanding.
Recovering Mothers Anonymous
Recovering Mothers Anonymous (RMA) is a fellowship of women, who are mothers, who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may find self-forgiveness and help other mothers to recover from having the lived experience of using alcohol or other harmful substance while pregnant. Join their weekly virtual groups.
Listen to Kathy Mitchell tell her story. In 2004, she founded the international birth mother mentorship program, the Circle of Hope (COH). In 2020 she founded Recovering Mothers Anonymous (RMA). She continues to speak at conferences and provides training and support to members of the COH speakers bureau that partners with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to provide grand rounds to medical facilities across the U.S.
