adoption dream assignment

allinduetime

i'm usually on the ttc6+ board, but lurk here regularly. 

i'm a photographer, and i've entered a contest for the chance to shoot my dream assignment - traveling to orphanages to photograph children who have been placed with families, and provide parents professional images of their children during their wait to travel.

if you have a free moment, check out my entry at https://tinyurl.com/cs22tp and read through my summary, and vote if you can.

thanks!

Cool assignment!

If I may suggest some wording changes on your blog to make it more palatable to a-families...  1. Married, childless couples ARE families, even if they're not done growing.  2. Adoption is about helping children find families, not about helping couples find children.

Since I love the TTC+6 I would love to vote...but I am stupid today and can't seem to find out how...Do I have to sign up to vote?

I disagree a bit here, and it's semantics, really. As a childless couple, adoption will be helping us find a child. We consider ourselves childless parents, and out there somewhere is a child who needs parents. So we're finding each other.

But yes, I consider Husband and myself a family, even if we're still in progress. (Aren't all families, when you consider that children grow and add their own spouses and children and on and on?)

Mom's Getting Married

That is a great idea and I know adoptive families would love it. I voted! Good luck!
