Hi! We're James and Tiffany. Our website is James and Tiffany's Adoption Website and we've been home study approved since July 2008. We're still waiting on the one call that will work out... Wish us luck and prayers and we'll return the favor - Tiff

Hi,

Hopingforachild - I'm so excited for you on your match! Why does everything always seem to be so complicated though! July is a long time to wait. I would be going even more crazy than I am now.

I'll pm you with our agency name and web site. They have been great to work with so far. I emailed back and forth with them for quite a while with questions before we signed on. All their answers were very honest and straight forward. I really appreciated that.

I would love some ideas on networking! Our agency encourages it, and then they would simply switch us to the independent adoption program if we find our own match.

James & Tiffany - Your web site looks really good! Did you do it through an agency? I know nothing about creating a web site. We're listed on our agency's web site, but I have no idea how many people see it. I'll be sending luck and prayers your way!

Christine

Thanks! I like our website pretty well too. It was easy. If you can use word documents and upload a few pictures, you can do it. Webs.com - Free website, free hosting, free webpage - Make a web site with photo albums, blogs, videos, forums and more! gives you template options and it's easy and free. Best wishes - Tiffany

Thanks for the links! I never thought about creating a web site. Do you advertise the address on other sites, or word of mouth? Are there very many hits?

I'm always interested in what others are doing to get out there in adoption. I've mailed out about 25 - 30 flyers to clinics, etc., and made some cards to hand out. Nothing has come of it though. Granted I've read that others have sent out hundreds of flyers, so maybe I'm still too small scale.

We have mailed about 300 post cards and our web site is posted on some of our friends' blogs, my myspace and facebook pages as well as on linkedin.com and twitter.com which are all social networking sites. CafeMom.com is a new site I found and there's a pretty large adoption community on it as well. Best wishes - Tiffany

We ended up having hundreds of hits to our website and portfolio but matched through an agency. Email me if you want their info. They were fabulous!!!
