Our local paper - Adoption articles

Our largest newspaper in the area in a town of about 200,000 is currently doing a series of articles about international adoption.

The news editor and his wife recently adopted from Russia. We had the first article in the Sunday paper.

There were a couple more articles, one on using tact when asking questions to adoptive parents or children.

I don't remember right off if we can put links in our postings???

PM me if you want more info.....Melodie

Please post the others when they come out!

Thank you so much for posting this. I really felt drawn in and would love to see the rest of the stories when they come out.

If you could post them as they do, I'd really appreciate it!

OK...thanks for the input....I worked for this paper until recently when I resigned to be a stay-at-home mother when our son comes home. I will put future links on this website. Melodie
