Birth Mother Baskets

What Birth Mother Baskets does

Birth Mother Baskets is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2000 that provides free adoption support services and physical gift baskets to women facing unplanned pregnancies who are considering placing their baby for adoption. The organization serves individual expectant and birth mothers across the United States, with a mailing address in Spanish Fork, Utah and operational references to Flushing, NY. Its core product is the namesake Birth Mother Basket — a physical gift package containing pampering items, shipped nationwide to birth mothers — augmented by a suite of peer-support and educational programs including Expectant Parent Peer, Birth Mom Friend mentorship, BMB University, and Birth Mom Retreats, plus an ongoing Birth Mom's Today support group.

The organization's underlying technology is modest and largely off-the-shelf: a WordPress-based website with a contact form, social media presence on Facebook and Twitter, email newsletter, and 24/7 phone and text hotlines across three area codes. The notable technical component is the Childconnect platform, developed by partner CAIRS Solutions, which provides a secure digital channel for real-time communication between birth parents and adoptive families subject to agency-set contact rules. The organization itself does not operate a proprietary technology platform.

Birth Mother Baskets generates no revenue from the recipients of its services; all offerings to birth mothers are free. The organization is funded entirely through donations and charitable contributions from individuals and businesses, accepting PayPal, checks, and per-basket sponsorships. Its go-to-market is community-led, leveraging a team of former birth mothers who have placed their own children for adoption to provide peer guidance, with referrals flowing through the BMB Partner Program network of licensed adoption agencies, infant adoption centers, and adoption attorneys nationwide. The customer base consists of three segments — birth/expectant mothers (primary, free recipients), waiting/adoptive families (matched through partner agencies), and adoption agencies/attorneys (referral partners) — but monetized revenue only flows from a distributed pool of donors rather than from any of these segments directly.
