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:
- Write a letter to the editor whenever you see a positive or negative story concerning adoption.
- 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.
- Ask your local TV or radio station to broadcast a segment featuring a waiting child in your state
- 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
- Plan craft activities or holiday ornaments incorporating designs from your child's heritage. For recipes, crafts, activities, and other ideas, see adoptivefamilies.com/heritage.
