Star Life Legacy Foundation- Maine Chapter was launched in April 2023 after the loss of our Granddaughter, Alani Grace Jones. Alani was born asleep on May 8th, 2023 at 40 weeks and 2 days gestation. We are here to support others going through similar experiences and spread awareness and education to support families as well as provide and assist Physicians with research with the WHY’S and HOW’S that go along with these painful experiences.
It is important to us that all families feel supported and welcome in this space. Please reach out to us so we can help meet your needs in the way you deserve.
Please note that these resources and project are chapter-specific. To view our extensive supports and resources provided by the foundation, scroll down to the bottom of this page.
This resource guide is a collection of local resources for families who tragically suffer the loss of a baby. This includes: local support groups, funeral home information and more. You are not alone.
Since stillborn babies tragically do not receive a Birth Certificate, many states offer a Certificate of Stillbirth or a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth (this includes Maine). Learn more about how to obtain a certificate for your baby/babies by clicking the link above.
Maine has a few important pieces of legislation including a stillbirth tax credit and paid family leave to include stillbirth. If you would like to learn more about how to help pass these bills, please complete our volunteer form.
Star Legacy Foundation provides evidence based continuing education workshops on numerous topics pertaining to pregnancy & infant loss.
Brittney joins the Maine Chapter with personal experience – on December 17, 2020 Brittney’s son was stillborn at 38 weeks. Brittney has a passion for identifying gaps in resources for parents experiencing loss and has worked to fill in those gaps in her own community. Brittney works in her community’s local hospital, which is also the hospital where she delivered her son. Since working there, Brittney and her husband raised funds and donated a Caring Cradle to their Birthing Center. She is also working on a new project to help provide support to families who receive care for miscarriages. Brittney is looking forward to being a Peer Companion and serving the Star Legacy Foundation. Brittney lives in North Anson with her husband Gabe and their 2 dogs, Brutus and Bocephus. Brittney loves to read and spending time with her loved ones.

The Pregnancy Research Project is a research study bringing together patients and researchers to advance knowledge and discover preventions and treatments for poor pregnancy outcomes. Please consider giving the gift of data and becoming a participant.
Our Stillbirth Scorecards take the CDC stillbirth data and organizes it into a one page document you can share to raise awareness about the stillbirth crisis.
It would be an honor if we remembered your beloved baby alongside you. Honor your babies with you by adding them as a star or creating a memorial page in their memory.
