20020829092839_105 How does your family celebrate adoption?  Do you have traditions, rituals, or stories to share? If you have not yet incorporated any, check these suggestions out:

  1. Write a letter to the editor whenever you see a positive or negative story concerning adoption.
  2. Find an adult adoptee who would be willing to be a mentor for your child. Arrange for them to get together on a monthly basis.
  3. Ask your local TV or radio station to broadcast a segment featuring a waiting child in your state
  4.  Rent a video that portrays adoption in a positive light for your family to watch and discuss. Try Immediate Family, Losing Isaiah, or Secrets and Lies
  5. Plan craft activities or holiday ornaments incorporating designs from your child's heritage. For recipes, crafts, activities, and other ideas, see adoptivefamilies.com/heritage.
