I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. We have been blessed with a baby boy, and are in the waiting phase currently (he's almost three-weeks old). His birth mother still has to go to court to terminate her parental rights, and then we're also dealing with the Interstate Compact and are waiting to get approval to take him home! I look forward to meeting others and sharing about our open adoption experience. :)

M is very social, has a ton of [...]

Hi Mama Kris! I read this last night and have been giving my response some thought….
First of all, I'm so happy to hear that your daughter contacted you! That's a personal dream of mine (my b-daughter is only 8 though so I may have to wait awhile :) ) I would most certainly feel [...]

What a nice idea! Two that come to mind are the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute (http://www.adoptioninstitute.org) and Ethica (http://www.ethicanet.org). Both have publicly advocated open adoption and open records. They have non-profit status, so the gifts would be tax-deductible.
