The Peanut Shell – Gorgeous, amazing slings for nurturing your adopted child. I was a ‘slingin’ mama” for both my children; first my two-pound preemie and then my second son who we were blessed to adopt at birth. What a great way to bond with your child. I give slings to every friend that has a baby, I don’t know how you can be without one. These slings are, hands down, the most beautiful I’ve ever seen!

A wonderful, warm and positive adoptive community. Holly
and Blake have created a site where you can post a profile online for
a reasonable fee, and they have many links to adoption related resources.
Best of all is the online community of fellow adoptive, and hopeful
adoptive parents.

We worked with Mothergoose on an independent adoption,
and even though it ultimately fell through I commend Deb and her staff
of their compassion and hard work on our behalf. Visit their website to view
potential adoptive situations, and then send in your newly created, beautiful profile!

Think adopting means you can’t nurse your wonderful
new baby? Think again! I successfully nursed our adopted son for 6 months,
and wouldn’t give up a minute of it. This site is full of information,
community support and links to products you may need. When is the right
time to start? Right now. Get information, support, find a supportive
doctor in your area, buy a pump and happy nursing! I am happy to chat
with you about the process we used as well, or answer any other questions
you may have.

Brenda Romanchik is the very well respected director
of this non profit organization. I highly encourage all hopeful adoptive
parents to spend time on this site. The basics of open adoption are
explained, but so much more than that.. If you are afraid of open adoption,
or fear open adoption means that someone will someday take “your”
baby away then I implore you to read through this site. I walk away
with a respect and a reverence for birthparents, and a fuller understanding
of the honesty that is needed in this very complex relationship, and
I hope you do the same.

This is Skye Hardwick’s beautiful site. Again,
this is written by birthmothers—lifemothers!—for birthmothers,
but should be required reading for all adoptive parents. Adoption requires
that we have truth, honesty, and respect in all our communications between
our families, and this site will help lay the foundations for this.
Mutual respect is the key to building lifelong relationships.

Oh, if I only had a million dollars; I would have one
of every book in this catalog. Tapestry books sells books related to
adoption and parenting, and is one resource I couldn’t live without.
My catalog is well worn and well used, and I wouldn’t be without
it.
