Adoptive Families Magazine
I am happy to announce that Adoptive Families Magazine will be featuring Sliding Into Home as one of their 2018 adoption book picks.
Here’s a little bit about the history of this magazine and the community it has served for over four decades:
“Adoptive Families is an award-winning resource for parents-to-be navigating the adoption process and for parents raising children through adoption. Founded as a black-and-white newsletter, OURS, in 1968, by Adoptive Families of America, Adoptive Families took its current name and switched to four-color publication in 1994. In 2014, Adoptive Families transformed into an all-digital magazine and relaunched adoptivefamilies.com as a comprehensive searchable website containing the many resources from more than 40 years of publication.
Adoptive Families provides information and support through expert articles, personal stories, expert audio, in-depth eBooks, made-for-sharing Clip & Save tip-sheets, parent-to-parent interaction, and more.
Adoptive Families maintains the vibrant online community, AdoptiveFamiliesCircle.com, and publishes Building Your Family: The Donor, Surrogacy, and Adoption Guide a valuable resource and national directory for those considering their path to parenthood.”
It is an honor to have Sliding Into Home featured by a magazine that has been a leading information resource for adoptive families over the years. Readers turn to Adoptive Families Magazine to:
“Parent consciously rather than with best intentions
Begin an adoption dialogue from day one and give your children all the details of their adoption stories
Talk openly about racial differences in your family and racism in society
Sensitively build a relationship with an expectant mother and father and navigate an open adoption
Respond to misperceptions about adoption at your child’s school, within your circle of family and friends, or in your larger community
Think about the best way to respond to each of your children’s questions, and create an atmosphere in which they feel safe asking increasingly complex questions.”
Sliding Into Home, chosen as a Tapestry Book Pick and soon to be featured with Adoptive Families, continues to find its home in the adoption community.
Sliding Into Home is also being considered as a Language Arts curriculum book that opens dialogue about race, divorce and adoption. Please contact me if you are interested in featuring Sliding Into Home in your school, magazine or youth group.
