I know how much I cruised the blog world when we were deciding to adopt - are you reading my blog today because of that reason?
If so, this is a special entry just for you. (when we did a blog poll, we found the were several of you out there!) I hope other adoptive parents will leave other suggestions in the comments, too!
Blogs/websites to cruise:
- My blog entries #1Â Â #2Â Â Â Â with a collection of special adoption moments.
- Melissa Faye Green’s blog, an entry on adopting. She has 4 kids from Ethiopia, and wrote the fantastic book There is No Me Without You.
- The two Canadian Agencies: CAFAC & Kidslink.
- Adoption Learning Partners have excellent courses on-line, many for free.

I just wanted to comment on how refreshing it is to see that you always mention both CAFAC and Kidlink without mentioning any bias. After reading another blog and the comments posted, I felt sickened by how negative people can be about an Agency that they haven’t even used! As a client of the Agency you aren’t using, I feel that it is important we all respect what both agencies are trying to do without slinging mud!

But of course!
People can draw their own conclusions… and certainly there are pluses and minuses on both sides. for example, one lady I know picked CAFAC (one big reason) since the agency totally plans your trip to ET for you, and schedules tours, all travels together, etc. Another family I know picked Kidslink for the exact opposite reason - they wanted to travel by themselves and be on their own schedule (like us!) So it’s really all about what’s best for you and your family, I agree.
Cheers
