My wife and I just started our blog about adoption, from a different perspective. We are both designers and artists, so we will be blogging not only about our adoption process but also about design and art that is somehow related to adoption. We will feature our own journey to adopt, our journey to find designer baby products, and artists or designers working to support or promote adoption. Additionally with adoption funding being so hard to come by these days, we will also feature products from our own design for sell as fundraising. Please join us on our journey at http://www.designforadoption.com
Does anyone know anything about Adoption Services? We are considering them but would like some references. Thanks

We brought our daughter Yelena home from Baby House #2 in Perm Russia in May 2000. She is now 12 and in the 5th grade in Waltham, MA.
Looking for a website that I can post information that I have in trying to find a brother that was adopted out in 1964. Hoping that he is looking too and would see my post and see that it may be him. Any ideas about where a website or blog like that is?
It is great to see so many blogs on the adoption process. There are so many resources for people who want to have a family in this way, and I think it is wonderful. We have just started our journey to adopt a second child, and would recommend adoption to anyone. Our blog can be found on our website here:

Wish us luck! And good luck to all the prospective adoptive parents out there!
Very informative list but I would like to add a site which has helped me tremendously. Mainly because you can find all the information there without having to visit many different ones. It’s a very confusing and difficult process and it helps to simplify.

My adoption story….part 1
“ Along Came Mary “
Before October of 2009, I had never really considered my real beginning. I have always loved to tell my sweet adoption story…..
the one my Mother told me….
Once upon a time during the 2nd World War my Mother’s 2 sisters & 3 brothers were all getting married and having children. My mother and dad got married in July of 1945 in my grandmother living room. Ma’s house ( as all her grandchildren affectionately called her ) was a beautiful craftsmen style home with a tudor interior. The focal point of Ma’s living room was a big stone fireplace that went up 10 feet. Wow what a pretty place to get married!!!! Mother and Dad started their new life together in their 1st little house in Wilmington, N.C. Dad was in business and mother was a nurse….life was happy….but as I said before, all the brothers and sisters on both sides of the family were having lots of babies. My parents were trying to conceive a child without any success. Prayer was also a big part of their preparing for a child and I think my Mother was disappointed with God when her prayers were not immediately answered. Mother’s conversation with God went something like this…..” Lord I know I will be a good mother….please help me understand why you are not allowing me to have a child.”
The next several years passed with still no baby!!!!! So my parents decided that they should try to adopt a child. They contacted the Children’s Home Society in Greensboro, N.Y. about starting the adoption process. When I say “ Process “ I really mean a long, grueling process that they both went thru together. Writing letters, having interview after interview, waiting and waiting and waiting, also having Children’s Home social workers arrive unannounced at their home. All of this to insure that Bob & Bitsy would be perfect parents to this new baby that the Children’s Home Society would be placing in their home.
On July 10th 1950 I was born but spent the next month at the Big White Cottage ( as it was called way back then )at The Children’s Home. Adoptions took at least a month in 1950 to finalize because the birth mother was given that length of time to change her mind about the adoption. The day finally came for me to go home. This is where the “ Sweet Story “ starts. When Mother and Dad arrived to pick me up at the White Cottage, I was lying so sweet and precious in the traditional white bassinet that each child meeting their new parents greets them in. Mother said…..when she saw me in that bassinet she knew why God had never let her get pregnant because He had a special child for her and that special child was “ME”. Motherhood began for my Mother that day….God’s plan was not just good it was the best!!!!!
Well, that is the beginning of my adoption story. I can’t wait to share the rest with you on my next blog…..there is so much more I have to tell you…..don’t forget….”Along Came Mary”.
If you have your own adoption story you would like to share with me as I share mine with you that would be so great….because that is what this Blog is about….Adoption Stories mine and yours
Love to all

Please consider posting a link to my adoption blog, which is a book in progress about the Russian adoption of our two children, one of which we later learned suffers from FAS, autism, bipolar disorder, seizure disorder, mitochondrial disease and attachment issues. Its the story of how love can blossom even in the most hostile terrains. The site is http://whenrainhurts.wordpress.com

I just started my column on Dad-Blogs. It is centered around adoption. I will be conducting interviews with birth moms, children, adoptive parents to get many perspectives.
This is my first article and speaks about our personal adoption journey

Hi all,
As an adoptive parent, I’m trying to get out the word about my newest novel “Jesse’s Girl,” available on Amazon.com. Written from the perspective of a Dad, my book is about a widowed New York father’s desperate search for his missing adopted teenage son, who has run away from a Montana wilderness substance abuse program to find his biological sister in Kentucky. I don’t understand blogs and have no idea how to create one. I’m just an adoptive parent who wrote a story he wants to share with like-minded parents. Thanks for any help-guidance.

Thanks for the shout out. I don’t write about it as much as politics at my place, but it is a topic near and dear to me heart.
The Other Mother is planning a blog carnival to celebrate Freedom to Marry week. You are so invited. http://tinyurl.com/bzdzrt
