As president and founder of BirthLink.com I have been working with parents for more than ten years. I am a birth advocate and educator. I love babies and motherhood (and fatherhood) is one of the most important times in our lives! With families spread all over the country and many working we just have to create our own support system of loving joy for our children.
We are an informal group of mostly new moms who are interested in supporting each other in finding our way in parentland. Toddlers are also welcome as more experienced moms can add their wisdom to the group. We welcome moms and dads - really any family member. Pregnant parents are welcome as well. So far it has been a wonderful exchange of information with the focus being on empowering each mom to find what works for them.
No commercial posts please. We request that you ask first if you are offering to promote your business.
I hope to see you there soon,

“Hi - We moved to Evanston a few months ago and I am looking to meet other moms and join play groups. I have a 2 year old son and another baby due in February. I love being a SAHM but would love some adult interaction too!”

What members are saying
“ Confidence and reassurance are great qualities to have as a mom. You get that from other moms. Isolation is a very serious thing. Get out and meet other moms and let the babies have fun too! ...
