I really thought this was well done. What do you think?

Looks great to me too... Reads well, not too involved with all the details, just plain simple terms.

It was pretty good overall!

Being honest I still don't like this concept: "Sometimes, learning you were adopted may make it hard for you to pay attention in school." It's tossing out there an idea that ran in another recent thread that adoptive kids are "often" found to have ADD. I think it was RavenS. who pointed out the system/financial/funding/statistical reasons for that idea. (there's always a moneytrail to follow when one group is singled out like this)

But overall this was "just right" in lingo, info and content for kids. Thanks for sharing it Storm

I also found that one line disturbing....otherwise, the article was good.
