Adoption News Round-Up

We’re always trying to evolve content on the blog, Facebook and Twitter – keeping things fresh, while also differentiating content between our social media sites. To keep this momentum going on the blog, we’re going to start a weekly Adoption News Round-up, which will compile different adoption-related links around the web to give an overview of what’s going on in the adoption world. We always welcome feedback, so please let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see or any news you want to have featured. We’re happy to take suggestions!

Weekly Round-up

Have you ever thought of parenting your adopted children as parenting their DNA – not yours? Adoptive Families gives some good tips on discovering which of your child’s ingredients are different than yours, and how you can nurture them.

Parents Magazine shares valuable information every parent should know in their Child Health Guide.

On their Facebook page, Adoptive Families started a thread about which adoption show/movie/song/book should get a thumbs down for the way it portrays adoption. An interesting survey, indeed!

New Zealand is working hard to legalize gay adoption. Fight the good fight!

That’s it for this week’s round-up – stay tuned next week for more interesting adoption news around the web!
