Reaffirming Our Commitment

Recently, two visitors submitted some comments that were not supportive of parents who’ve adopted. Although I didn’t approve those comments, this is a great time to reaffirm why Forever Parents came to be and where our commitment lies. I created Forever Parents in 2002 after being frustrated by the lack of online support for parents who’ve adopted (and those waiting). I was also disgusted by the guilt and...

We’re Giving Comment Luv

One of the things I wanted to do when I moved this blog to wordpress was install the comment luv plug in. It’s in and working! What this little beauty does is find your latest blog post and insert a link to it after your comment. Share

Sidebar Additions

I’ve been checking out some of the many word press plug-ins for this blog and I wanted to post about the few I added so far. In the left sidebar, the last three comments and trackbacks will be listed. Also the top three commentators for each month will be listed, with a lnk back to their site or blog. At the bottom of each post I’ve added links to some of the social bookmarking sites like facebook and sk*rt....

Please update your bookmarks

As you may have noticed, we moved the blog. The new address is: http://foreverparents.com I also updated the feed but let me know if you have problems with it.    Share

Happy Holidays!

A very happy holiday to each of you and I truly hope that all the magic of this season is filling your days and nights. I’ll be back around here in January and I apologize for the recent inconstancy of posts. Those who are regular visitors know that things have personally been rough for me lately. I’ll get through it, but for now there’s a lot of quiet, reflective down time going on. And it’s much...

Nice Matters Award

As I posted before, I’m still updating the blog after being away and I wanted to thank Kathy at My Crazy Life for the “Nice Matters” award and also for the “nice” things she said about me. (no, I didn’t pay her-lol) You can see it in the sidebar. Take a look…it’s pretty. Thank you Kathy!! Share

I’m a Rockin’ Girl Blogger!

I’ll be spending a considerable amount of time answering comments, updating posts and working on this blog over the month of November. With everything that has gone on, things kind of got backed up but it’ll get all sorted out over time. One of the things I wanted to let you know is that Holly gave me the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award! How cool is that? I’ll have to wait until I get home (we’re on...

NaBloPoMo

I decided to join NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) this year. I wanted to do it last year but found out about it to late. It’s a challenge to post something to your blog everyday for the month of November and was inspired by NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) whose challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Wish me luck! LOL Share

Just a quick update

My family and I are in NYC for a while to have a memorial service for my mother. I have my laptop with me but it takes twice as long to blog than with my PC. I’ll be back soon with lots of pictures! Share

New Look

I hope you like the new look. If you’re reading through a feeder, stop by and take a peek. Share

Hello, I’m back-and thank you so much.

First, thank you so very much for all your wishes, condolences and thoughts. They have been a source of strength for me through this very difficult time. I appreciate them more than you could ever know. There were about five comments during July that I haven’t let through yet. With making all the preparations for my mothers service, handling her affairs and trying to get through some very difficult days, I saved them...

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...

Adoption Forums

Jan 2008 When the Forever Parents adoption forums was first created in 2002, we started on the msn boards, but quickly out grew them and moved to ezboard in 2003, where we’ve been…until last week. We’ve joined the big leagues and are hosting our own forum. Our community supports and encourages adoptive and waiting families in a private setting. There are lots of issues that we, as adoptive and waiting...
