Hi  my name is Abigail. I'm doing this survey for a class I'm taking. The  survey is about mental health discrimination in healthcare.

I  have personally experienced this. It's a long story but basically I had  a baby and was thinking about adoption, then I decided to keep her  before I went in for my scheduled c section. But the hospital staff  didn't know that I had decided to keep her and they were expecting the  adoptive parents to be there and then they called CPS on me. Not because  I did anything wrong but simply because it says bipolar in my medical  file.And changing my mind looked rash and impulsive. Long story short it  became either sign the adoption papers or the baby goes into foster  care. So I really have a passion for de-stigmatizing mental health  conditions! I would love it if you could take my survey, I need 5 people  to interview. Thanks in advance
