If you were publishing a magazine on search and reunion...?

Question

what would YOU want to see inside it?

Answer 1

i wouldnt want to see a magazine on anything having to do with adoption, or including information on adoption.

i think that since there are soo many sick people in the world that it would just end up with people posing as others and would just result in a big huge mess!

Answer 2

articles on what to expect when you meet someome and how hard it might be to know the 'real' truth of why it happened.

Answer 3

Question/Answer segment - so anyone from any part of the adoption can write in and have a relinquishing parent, adoptive parent and adoptee answering the relevant questions.

For example - an adoptive parent asking for the opinion of the adoptee on how they believe their adoptive parents can support their search.

Not just positive outcomes in the stories but if the story is not positive have advice on how to overcome the problems stated in the stories.

International adoption search and reunion - for those families who have adopted from overseas- how to contact birth family members if they don't have much information

Obviously names of agencies that provide this service.

General Adoption segment:

stories of other people's experiences - this could include 3 stories from the same adoption (ie relinquishing parent/s, adoptive parents and adoptees stories.)

Advice on how to make adoption work - ie attachment / bonding processes and how other families have managed

Good luck - sounds like a great idea
