UPDATE: Future of SAIF

TJ1979

Thank you all for your input ladies. I have good news and bad news so far. These decisions aren't set in stone yet, but here is where we stand right now.

First the good news: SAIF and PAIF will remain separate boards! Your voices were heard, your arguments were solid, and no changes will be made. (Except moving SAIF back under parenting, not pregnancy, where it belongs.

The not so good news: Just as you got a say in your board's future, the OAD board got a say in theirs. They voted to not have the board split into One & Done by Choice and Not by Choice. The OAD board has many posters who are NBC, and they welcome those from SAIF who are OAD, NBC with open arms. I encourage you to read the poll on their board for their reasonings, and also to read their OADNBC sticky. Please consider lurking over there for a bit, or even introing and giving the board a shot if you want some OADNBC support. They even mentioned doing a weekly OADNBC checkin if you are interested.

Please feel free to share your thoughts and feelings below. I will let you know when things are finalized, or if anything changes.

Thanks for the update, tj! I'm happy for the paif and saif communities. I hope the oad board will be able to provide comfort for our nbc ladies. You gals are always welcome here though. :-*

Ditto!

Thanks for the update! I'm glad to hear the PAIF/SAIF boards will stay separate and I hope our OADNBC girls find a comfortable place.

@TJ1979 This might be a silly question... but where can I find the PAIF board? I don't see it listed under the pregnancy category where all the message boards are located ?? It would make sense for us in the IF board to post questions there rather than SAIF, but I could never find it

@gnl42‌ Here is a link, bookmark it.

I'm only mobile, and it shows up on the full board list if you click on "the bump message boards."
Anyone know where it is on the pc version?

Thanks @TJ1979

I went mobile and I found it... strange that it's not there on the PC version.
