SENIOR MOTHERS ADOPTION ACTIVIST COALITION


SMAAC is an Activist Women's Organization for mothers whose infants were surrendered for adoption from the end of World War II to 1973, the period we refer to as the Era of Mass Surrenders or EMS.

We do not attempt nor claim to be The Singular Voice for All Mothers, nor even for all the mothers who share our time period. We offer an option…A Voice for Women who feel like we do that we were given NO options, NO choices and NO alternatives other than Surrendering our children for adoption.

We are seeking an acknowledgment that the methods and means used to obtain our Surrenders violated our Constitutional, Civil and Human Rights. We feel that Justice is long overdue for us and our children.
