Love comes in so many shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a few compassionate words, a passing smile or a good deed, never underestimate the power of kindness. Take a moment today to read our post on Mother’s Choice. Helping out girls and women going through crisis pregnancies, the organization supports those who are left with the challenging decision of caring for their newborn baby or putting him or her up for adoption. Our initiative to photograph some of the pregnant women, and in some cases, the moms with their newborns is our little way of supporting the non-profit in Hong Kong. We’ve learned so much about the love deep in all of our hearts.

With the amazing support of HK photographer, Ayelen Alcover, Malabar Baby spent a day visiting expecting and new moms, giving them makeovers and doing a full photo shoot with their little ones. It was a special, emotional time for some of the young women before they gave their babies up for adoption. We were so honored and grateful that we could help these ladies know just how beautiful and strong they are while giving them memories to last a lifetime.

Our team at Malabar Baby is dedicated to the Mother’s Choice cause, and our founder, Anjali, often assists Alia, the CEO from the organization, with her mission. Anjali says: “All the women involved with Mother’s Choice truly show the act of love each and every day: from Alia, who lives in close proximity to the pregnant girls, to the caregivers, bridge parents, foster parents, social workers, volunteers and beautiful moms themselves. So many women come together to make sure that these children and moms get a second chance.”

Alia, pictured above, explains what’s really at the heart of Mother’s Choice: “We want children and young women in our city to know that they are loved, that it doesn't matter what they've been through or what they have experienced, that there is no such thing as a hopeless case, that they can have a second chance to have a good future.”
