Notice the New Blog Title?

by Becky Wilson

Though the URL will not change, Parenting the Adopted will now be known as Parenting After Adoption. If you ever wonder whether your feedback and suggestions are heard, this is proof. A few of you offered feedback in private about the original name of the blog, and I took your comments into consideration. Naturally it helped that I agreed, but I do take seriously all feedback, comments and suggestions you send in. I approached the “powers that be” within the 451Press network about a name change. We decided on Parenting After Adoption.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming….

    I am so glad you did this. That is one thing that really bothered me. I did not feel my son was ‘the adopted.’ Keep up the good work!!

    Thanks, Marci! I’m glad to know you approve of the change. I wanted to say something off the bat, but I was the “new kid” and didn’t want to come blazing in making requests all over. KWIM? I also thought I was alone in feeling “the adopted” leaned toward in appropriate. The 451Press team has been wonderful about the name change.
