BraveLove Birth Mom Zoom Party!

Join us for a Birth Mom Zoom Party on Thursday, May 8th!

Join Us!

Who? This is reserved for birth moms only.

What? BraveLove is hosting a big video conference call with birth moms from coast to coast. To join, you have to RSVP online here by Thursday, May 1st. Fill out the RSVP form on this page. Once you submit your RSVP, you will receive an auto-response email from BraveLove. That email includes the Zoom link and password to join on May 8th.

When? Thursday, May 8th at 6:00pm CST

Where? In the comfort of your home

Why? We know not everyone can attend our birth mom dinners, so this is a fun way to connect with birth moms all over the country!

Questions?

What do I need to participate?

1) Internet, 2) a smartphone or desktop computer, 3) the Zoom link and password (which BraveLove will provide you with)

What should I expect?

This a chance to connect virtually with other birth moms. For the first 10 minutes of the call, the BraveLove team will welcome you and say hello. Then we will break out into smaller groups so you can get to know birth moms in your area. That’s why it’s so important for us to know who’s joining and where you’re calling from. (We ask for your address in the RSVP form.)

When will I get the link to join?

You will receive the Zoom link and password immediately after you RSVP. Be on the lookout for an auto-response email from BraveLove. If you do not receive that auto-response email, check your Spam folder. If the email is not there, contact ashley@bravelove.org for help. Do not share the link and password with anyone. If you’re wanting to invite other birth moms, share this RSVP page: bravelove.org/birth-mom-zoom

When do I have to RSVP by?

You have to RSVP online here by or before Thursday, May 1st.

What if I have to join the party late?

No problem!

What if I have to leave early?

No problem — leave when you need to. But ideally, try to stick around to connect with your breakout group hostess.

Do I have to turn on my video?

You don’t have to, but it’ll be more fun for you to see the others.

Can I mute myself?

Sure! If you’ve got a lot of background noise, we recommend it.

How long will this last?

About one hour.

Do I have to share my adoption story?

No – that’s not a requirement at all. You share what you’re comfortable with. Or you can just listen.

What are we going to talk about?

It’s just going to be a chance to get to know the other birth moms on the line. Each breakout group will have a birth mom hostess, who will help facilitate the conversation.

What happens after the call?

Ideally, we hope these smaller breakout groups will be able to stay in touch after May 8th. This could look like a group text, email check ins, or becoming social media friends!

Can anyone else from my home join me on the Zoom call?

Similar to the dinners, these are reserved for birth moms only. But we realize you may have others in your household. It’s obviously understandable for them to be in the background or make a brief appearance. But we want to be respectful of the private information being shared so, if at all possible, we recommend you attend the Zoom party in a private room or away from loud areas.
