Birth Parent Information: Full AA baby girl born October, 2009. BM is 15 yr old, AA. No cigarette/drug/alcohol use. BM diagnosed with Depressive Disorder NOS. BF is 18 yr old, AA. BM & BF are ½ siblings (they share the same biological mother). The baby is born and beautiful. We spoke to the pediatrician personally, and he said she is healthy and everything thus far has shown no signs of her being affected by the genetic similarities between the biological parents.

"These boys deserve so much more than I can give them"

"Six years after adopting two boys, Michelle Brau was still unable to form a bond with them. Now they're in a new home. She may have suffered a condition many still don't understand: post-adoption depression."
