Welcome! I am the new Editor for the Adoption Site at BellaOnline.com! In addition to writing weekly articles and participating in the Adoption forum, I will send out a weekly newsletter. It is a great way to be notified of my most recently article and current discussions in the forum.

Over the coming weeks and months, the articles I write will cover many aspects of adoption and how it affects all parties throughout their lifespan. I will write about the adoption process, myths and frequently asked questions, ethics in adoption, honoring heritage and culture, relationships between all members of the “adoption triad,” avoiding adoption scams, reunions, adoption stories, adoption conferences and education, loss and grief associated with adoption, creating lifebooks, and more.

Are you interested in talking about your adoption experience? Do you want to discuss my most recent article? Do you have a question? Do you have suggestion for future articles? Join us in the Adoption forum! You can bookmark the forum or click the links included in each weekly newsletter.

It is the one under “Free Newsletter!” Afterward you will be taken to a new page where you will be asked to enter your email address a second time.
