Adoption

FAQ update

I've been promising to add Captain Serious's book recommendations to the FAQ forever, but life has been...interesting. Anyhoo, it might be time to update them overall.

So when you have the time, take a look at the current FAQs and see if there's something else you should be there. Currently we want to add a list of books to read (with various subtopics, like general parenting, general adoption, foster parenting, etc.), and possibly a topic addressing open vs closed adoptions.

TIA!

  • I love the ideas about adding books, home study experiences, and about open/closed adoptions!

    Since my husby and I publicly announced our adoption, I've had numerous people (strangers and friends alike) who are thinking about adoption ask me to g

    I'm a dance studio owner, writer, cat mommy, and adventuress who is married to the man of her dreams. My husband and I have had a long-time dream to adopt and it's happening in a way that we didn't quite anticipate. But, like any move of God, it's turning out way better than we expected.
