Welcome to episode thirty-two of the Honest Mamas Podcast! Today we speak to Kelsey Vander Vliet about being a birth mother.

Kelsey Vander Vliet is a 25-year-old in Indianapolis, Indiana, and placed her son in May 2016. Kelsey decided on open adoption after an abortion procedure miraculously failed. After placement, life was tough.

She has found that a healthy balance of helping yourself and helping others is quite therapeutic. She attends a birth mom support group in the South Bend, Indiana area to help herself, and is active in her community in helping others. She works for the Adoption Support Center in Indianapolis.

She believes that if you repeat the pattern of serving others, you will start to see not only the blessings that will come your way, but the blessings that you already have.
