Almost a week until National Adoption Awareness Month, what will you be doing?
I know I’ve posted about this a lot, but I want to keep it fresh on our member’s minds!
Do you have any plans to show your support, if so, please share them! It’s important that the triad members show our pride in November so that adoption stigma can become a thing of the past!

The article that I wrote is going in our church newsletter. I still haven't heard back from the local paper's reporter. If they don't do the article themselves, I'll just submit it for the letters to the editor section. Don't know if I'll have to edit it down, it's long.
I've been wearing my "Ask me about adoption" pin. One lady in line at the grocery store asked me about it. I had the pleasure of telling her I adopted four of my wonderful foster children. We talked about how old they are now and how old they were when placed. The grocer heard me and when I got up to her, she told me what a wonderful thing I'm doing for the kids. I told her that I'm the lucky one in this. My kids are such a blessing to my family. I guess just touching one person at a time!

Riley
I would love to read your article on Adoption…I talked to the editor of the local paper yesterday, and he really likes what I have done “so far” LOL He said that I need to beef it up to about 1000 words…which I wouldn’t mind doing, except I am really trying to keep my focus on positive adoption education…and I am trying not to get to technical or sound preachy…because I estimate more than half the readers wont have a clue that adoption isn’t the same as it was in 1950. Would you mind if I took a look at your article, to get some ideas? I wont plagiarize, I promise!
