Its been awhile since I've talked about anything adoption related. Let's change that, shall we?!
There are things you can do to help spread the word that we're hoping to adopt:
-Blog about adoption (in general) or about how you know some families who are hoping to adopt. Add their links to your blog post.
-Send an email to your friends/family telling them that you know someone that's hoping to adopt. Then, have them forward the email to all of their contacts.
-Mention you have friends hoping to adopt on Facebook or Twitter.
-Pray for them. Pray for their birth mothers.
-Add our adoption blog button to your blog...Its super easy. See the white box on my side bar that has our family picture with "We're Hoping To Adopt Again!" right above it? On your design page, add a gadget. Choose "HTML/Java Script". Paste the contents of the little white box. Save. See, super easy!
-Hear of someone facing an unplanned pregnancy? You can tell them you know someone that's hoping to adopt if that's one of the options they're considering.
-Pass out some of our Pass Along Cards.
A few months ago, I won an online contest and won 500 new ones! Help us pass them out!
You never know when you'll have the opportunity to hand one out, so please consider keeping a couple in your purse or wallet.
Medical offices, doctors/nurses, salons, hairstylists, church leaders, restaurants, waitresses, and community bulletin boards are all great places to leave them. In fact, our new caseworker recently told us that she saw one of our cards on a bulletin board at Taco Time. Awesome.
We also have started slipping them in when we send our bills, and we always leave one with the check at a restaurant.
Questions? Comments? Want some cards? Leave me a comment with your email address (if I don't already have it) and I will hook you up. You can also email me:

We are so appreciative of your efforts to help build our family. And, how amazing would it be if you are the connection between us and a birth mother?!
