Adoption Support at Forever Parents

Forever Parents

Hi, I’m Joanne.

I created Forever Parents on December 28, 2002 after being frustrated by the lack of online support for adoptive and waiting parents. Feeling safe enough to vent, without being misunderstood or judged is an important part of this journey and I wanted to carve out a place for myself and others to do that. Forever Parents started on the msn boards, then switched to ezboard in 2003 and to our own server in 2008.

This blog was created in January 2007 as another way of connecting with parents who’ve adopted and those in the process of doing so. My husband & I adopted a sibling group of three that had been in the foster care system for four years. They were 5, 8 & 11 when we adopted them in 2003. Here are Eight Things About My Adoption Journey. Want to know more? Eight More Things About Me. The year after we finalized our adoption, we removed them from school and began our unschooling journey, which I blog about at An Unschooling Life.. Here’s an article I wrote on Homeschooling and Older Child Adoption if you’d like to know more. Although you’ll see the term “adoptive parents” on this site, please don’t think we call ourselves that. Parents who’ve adopted consider themselves “parents”. We use that term here because we’re a parenting site for those who’ve adopted…and that’s just to long to keep typing. lol

If you have information, of interest to adoptive and waiting parents, that you would liked posted up at our blog, please email me at joanne@foreverparents.com or leave a comment. We’ll accept information and press releases on, adoption conferences, upcoming legislature, new book releases, adoption workshops and more.

You can also leave the link to your adoption blog, website, forums or business at A Guide To Adoption

Please join us at our adoption forums if you’d like to connect with other adoptive and waiting parents.

Forever Parents is maintained by parents who’ve adopted, and is for parents who’ve adopted (and those waiting). While other members of the triad are welcome to read and comment, only comments that are supportive of parents who’ve adopted, will be allowed here and at our adoption forums.

Thank you for stopping by.
