Adoption News Roundup

Here’s a look at some of the news and articles that have caught our eye this week…

Love this article from Kristen Howerton about picking battles as a parent. She considers herself a pretty conservative parent, which is exactly why she lets her daughters dye their hair (blue and pink!) in the summertime.

What happens if you adopt a child, and they come to your home mourning the loss of their foster parents?

Things birth parents wish adoptive parents knew. These articles circulate a lot, but we always learn something new.

An incredible story of a birth father’s fight for his rights. We only wish it ended happily for everyone.

Do you suspect your child could have learning issues? This article has a lot of helpful information about identifying certain issues and what they might mean.

How on earth do we get our kids to behave the first time we ask?

Love this! A parent shares a letter they give to their child’s teacher on the first day of school, sharing information about his adoption and how they can explain adoption to the other students. So thoughtful.

What does an adoption wait look like? It’s especially poignant when captured by a five year-old.

Moms, new moms, and moms-to-be: your friendships with other moms are vital.
