At this month&#8217;s Adoption Support Group meeting I heard something from some of the attendees which I unfortunately expected.  Many of them had been asked by co-workers or loved ones, &#8220;So why don&#8217;t  you just adopt an orphan from Haiti?&#8221;  When I had heard about the tragic January 12th earthquake in Haiti [...]]]></description>

Sometimes I feel like in my adoption articles I portray the more negative view of adoption.  People may think you aren&#8217;t a “real” parent!  Children may tease your daughter for looking different than you!  Television shows portray adoptees as having severe emotional issues!  I write about these things to prepare adoptive [...]]]></description>

Recently I had the pleasure of being asked to present to a group of adoption social workers from a local agency.  The topic I covered was “Understanding the Infertile Adoptive Couple.”  This is a subject I feel knowledgeable about as I entered adoption from the infertility world.  I have also met many [...]]]></description>

There are plenty of “How to Adopt” books which cover how to pick an agency, what a home study is, and affording adoption.  There are also plenty of books which discuss “Adoptive Parenting” with topics such as attachment, answering questions from your child and maintaining your child&#8217;s heritage.  But I don&#8217;t know of [...]]]></description>
