Young Man Asks Church Congregation for an Adoptive Family Oct 19th 2013, 01:20 It is being reported that one young man, Davion Only of Florida, decided to take the search for a forever family into his own hands. It was approached in an unique and heartwarming way when fifteen-year-old Davion went before a church congregation and asked for a family. Davion has been in the foster care system his entire life and has been through many moves. Reports state that Davion spoke just a few simple lines two weeks ago when he stated, "I'll take anyone, old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be." His message has resulted in about 500 calls into his adoption agency, inquiring on how to bring Davion home. National Adoption Month is just a bit over two weeks away. I felt Davion's story was a great way to get us all pumped for the month of celebrating. May Davion Only's adoption finalization occur soon and he can begin to feel whole and loved.

Talking to Your Child About Their Adoption Oct 14th 2013, 15:06 I believe that children should be raised with the knowledge that they were adopted.  Other parents choose to wait for the right time to bring up the topic. Either way - it may be difficult for some families to find a way to feel comfortable enough to talk about a child's adoption story. Here are several ideas on how to be more open within your family about the topic of adoption, Helping Your Child Talk About Adoption.  There is also a bit of information on when adoptees may think about birth family or their adoption. One tool that seems to help ease everyone into the discussion is a lifebook.  Lifebooks are a great way to open up the lines of communication with your child.   Here is a review I did on a great book that will help you understand the purpose of the lifebook and tell you how to create one for your child.

Extended Family Adopt Too Oct 9th 2013, 08:00 It's a concept that we may not think a lot about when we first decide to adopt a child, but whenever someone joins our family, our entire extended family is impacted as well. This is true no matter if you are choosing an international adoption, a domestic adoption, or a foster care adoption.  Some family members may be excited about the idea of adopting, while others may have some negative comments. Have you found the negative responses to be more generational or cultural?  For us, it was generational. Those with concerns seemed to be concerned with how foster care and adoption would impact our daughter. If you are in the process of adopting a child, have you discussed your adoption plans with your extended family members and friends? If not, why not? If you have, did it go well? If your family has fully embraced your child, please share your story.
