Thanks for the input Coley!
I have to say those overviews are so difficult. We are listed on several hoping to adopt sites and I've always felt that the short paragraph is SO important because it may determine if someone looking will simply pass you by or click to find out more about you. If we can't get someone to go to our site, it's not doing much for us (which is basically how we feel at this point.) My husband thinks I stress too much about it and that there are so many other factors that play a role in which couples someone might choose to look at further. Every person is different so I can see his point but I still think the overview has got to play a HUGE role.
We constantly struggle between trying to put a little of our heart into the overview and also giving information to pregnant women who may have those qualifications you speak of.
I've tried drafting ones that have just the facts (age, years married, etc) but it seems so cold. I've ended up keeping what we started with originally because we do get some hits on our site and I guess I'm afraid making changes will hurt us instead of helping us -- we may get NO hits!
But you have inspired me!
I am going to give it another shot and take a chance.
I have read many of your posts and you are truly a blessing to have here on the forum!!
Thanks for the inspiration,
TJ
