INTRODUCING...
We've been brewing something new for our Birth Mother/Birth Parent community this Fall... and our first coffee chats were a "latte" fun in September. Let's keep the buzz going—see you in October!
Our Sips and Sisterhood Sessions are coming to a café near you in SAN FRANCISCO, the PENINSULA, the SOUTH BAY, the TRI-CITY area (Fremont/Newark/Union City), the EAST BAY, MARIN, and SACRAMENTO! Show up in your comfiest PJs (we won't judge!). We're talkin' coffee (or tea! or whatever you love!), connection, and zero pressure to adult — unless you want to! No awkward name tags, no forced small talk, just real convos and caffeine highs... think of it as a mini support group, but with better snacks and no one judging your drink order!
MPower Alliance (MPA) was founded in 2007 to fill the deficit in post-placement care and support for women and birthing people who place their child(ren) for adoption.
MPA is one of the few 501(c)3 organizations in the United States that works to mitigate the psychological and emotional impact that occurs when someone voluntarily or involuntarily places their children for adoption.
MPA knows birth mothers/parents are not a monolith. While there are commonalities in our stories, we also understand that everyone's experience is uniquely their own. We honor the diverse experiences of birth mothers/parents and believe that listening and learning from one another builds resiliency, empathy, and helps to reduce stigma.
MPA works to ensure our events and activities for birth mothers/parents are safe, welcoming and free of judgment.
MPA is not affiliated with crisis pregnancy centers, adoption agencies or faith-based organizations.
Together we can ensure birth mothers/parents have the support they need, the community they seek, and the advocacy they deserve.

These events are not a substitute for professional psychiatric or medical diagnosis, treatment, or therapy. MPA wants to create spaces where birth mothers/parents are seen, heard, and honored, but will not take the place of treatment or therapy. If you need emergency medical assistance, please go to your nearest emergency room or call 911 or 988.
Any donations not exchanged for goods or services are fully tax-deductible.
For your records, MPower Alliance's tax identification number is 26-1647338.
