Moms Adopting Moms

A Word from our Founder

December Newsletter


It's the most wonderful time of the year. The birth of Jesus. The time with family. The hustle and bustle of picking the perfect gift for the perfect person. Lots of laughter, decorating, shopping, games, entertaining and being entertained. It's also a time where memories of people and good times shared together sometimes hit us the hardest if they are no longer with us. We recollect our favorite stories and try to make new memories with the ones we love.

We at Moms Adopting Moms remain so thankful for each and every person that has come into our lives. Read our Christmas Update Letter for more.

News

Congratulations to each of these amazing moms! Now our moms will be able to take classes from home as well as apply for work from home positions with these laptops. We are incredibly thankful to Megan Ward of The Five Hive and AT&T for their assistance!
