Unwed & Teen Mothers - Pressured Into Adoption by LDS Social Services
Unwed mothers forced to give children to LDS social services !
I’m looking for dozens of women who were teen moms or unmarried mothers who were pressured, shamed, or forced to give their babies up for adoption to LDS social services.
especially women that were underage and sent to out of state homes
LDS/Mormon Church or LDS adoption programs. Shamed at sacrament told to put the scarlet letter on you to make you feel unworthy of being a mother !
This happened to me in the 1980s, and I’m putting together a documentary about what happened to these women and their children and where they are today.
I’m looking for women who are ready to come forward, tell their story, and are willing to appear on national television in a documentary. If you were sent away, hidden, placed in foster care or a maternity home, pressured into adoption, or made to feel like you were unworthy of keeping your baby, I want to hear from you. If you were told no matter your situation that your child is not going to be yours and cast in outer darkness so you must give the child to a worthy family ?
I need over a dozen women. You can DM me privately to tell me your story and learn more about the project. Documentaries typically provide a stipend for participants’ time. They are all voluntary. We’re working on getting more funds for survivors but keeping that on the down low until the series is approved !
If you’ve carried this story for decades and feel it’s finally time to speak, please message me. Your story matters I was on national televisions and my story was about religious Trauma. Of course the guilt was worse than the ghosts. But I saw myself at 15 again the shame and blame destroyed my empire I worked so hard to build. I was told the devil was inside me. Well I have spoke. To the producers we have a green light now I need your voice your story you had to hide let the truth set us free. The filming we be in the Slc park city area. We will only be interviewing on zoom privately
Please message me. I look forward to hearing from my sisters ! April
