At just 19, she became pregnant and, feeling immense pressure from the Church and her family, gave her baby up for adoption through LDS Family Services—only to later discover that her child&#39;s life in the adoptive family was not what the Church promised.Topics include:-Toxicity of purity culture-Unplanned pregnancy in Mormonism-Harsh backlash from her family and LDS community-Adoption within the LDS Family services program-The church&#39;s role in facilitating and encouraging adoption-Being a "birth mom"-Troubled teen culture within MormonismHer story sheds light on the emotional and spiritual costs of institutional coercion, and the healing that comes with breaking free from this control. ___________________<a href="https://youtu.be/OjzrZoC0VAA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube</a>Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today:<ul><li><a href="https://donorbox.org/mormon-stories?default_interval=m">⁠⁠One-time or recurring donation through Donorbox⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/mormonstories">⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/mormonstories">⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://account.venmo.com/u/mormonstories">⁠⁠Venmo⁠⁠</a></li></ul>Our Platforms:<ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/mormonstories?sub_confirmation=1">⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/mormonstories">⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4sDzk7dRjODTSEqzZKZJzk?si=148b0efc1ccc4404">⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mormon-stories-lds/id312094772">⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠</a></li></ul>Social Media:<ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mormstories">⁠⁠Insta: @mormstories⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonstoriespodcast">⁠⁠TikTok: @mormonstoriespodcast⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://discord.com/invite/kuX5p6yyjF">⁠⁠Join the Discord⁠⁠</a></li></ul>Contact us:MormonStories@gmail.comPO Box 171085, Salt Lake City, UT 84117
