Hi guys,
As you can see, I put all the FAQs together in one post so I can submit it to BumpJackie. She'll get it to the top of the board.
BUT I realized we forgot a list of acronyms specific to this board. So if you want to post your faves that I may have missed, add them here. So far I have
BM = birth mother
BF = birth father
DIA = domestic infant adoption
EM = expectant mother (mother before adoption takes place)
EF = expectant father
FP = foster parent
HS = home study
IA = international adoption
PAP = prospective adoptive parent

Great idea strawberryglobug. Here's a link to an old Adoptive Families article about positive adoption language.

FTA - foster to adopt. I haven't seen this one on the board, but it would certainly cut down on some typing!
