adoption round-up

This round-up is closed. I'll launch the Adoption BlogPost Roundup #2 sometime during the first weekend in June. Check out the summary post at Annotated Adoption BlogPost Roundup #1.

---

I'm hosting a round-up. What is a round-up you may ask? It is a themed blog posting across many blogs. This round-up is going to be about adoption.

Here is what we do. You pick out your favorite adoption post -- any topic -- then you add it to Mr. Linky, below. Be sure to include a few words in parentheses that describe your post topic. You submit the link. Then all the other readers that are interested in your topic can click on over and see what you have to say.

In future months, we can include themes such as "what not to say" "how to support a pre-adoptive family" "how to support a recently home family" "sweet attachment moments" "ack! what have we done?" and so forth. Leave your ideas in the comments.

It would be awfully nice if you include a link back to here on the post that you are sharing.

And of course, as this is brand new, I need all the help I can get spreading the word. Would you consider posting about the round-up on your blog?
