Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul is Out!
I just received my "contributor" copy of Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul the other day. I contributed a story about the way our first adoption opened up. The story, called "Open-Door Policy," is on p. 189.
Did any of you other Adoption Writers have a contr… Continue

The problem is, the only contact info was through the now defunct agency, Children of the World, in NJ. As I searched the web I found a writer here that had participated in the agency's dissolve. I admit I have paid little attention to the circumstances surrounding the issue - and have completely focused on the fact that I now have no liaison to contact the family. My intent and hope was that in joining this group, someone might be able to help me find out what has happened to the records and other items that were sent to the agency for safekeeping (including gifts and letters written to her that were to remain in a box until she chose to retrieve them), since I have not been able to find any information online that will help - so far. I apologize for using the forum for this purpose, but I don't know where else to look. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Maria
Armenia isn't the most open to adoption and only recently has begun allowing couples of non-Armenian descent to adopt. In the past that has been the biggest factor in keeping people from adopting from Armenia. But it is open to non-Armenians now (we aren't Armenian).
It is a small program - 40 children adopted out of the country last year. I'm praying the small size means easier observation for ethical issues.
Thanks, for inviting me and leaving a note!
Thanks from me, too.
Thanks for the kind words, I am partial of course, but I think our children are "seven from heaven".
Thanks for the welcome as I slowly feel my way around this site. I'm very excited I found all of you as it appears we have a lot in common. With the book just out in early Sept. I find myself busy with book fairs and other promotional functions. I'm beginning to feel very comfortable with the adoption community and find these families very warm and inviting people. Speaking about warm, are you in a warm part of the country? We're getting snow and blistery winds here in upstate NY. Not ready for this! Be talking to you.
Thank you.
Yes, My daughter is a beauty.
We are so proud of her.
She is truly loved.
