It's so different than infertility forums. With infertility forums you can discuss practically anything. With adoption forums you can discuss your personal experience with adoption agencies, that can only be done through private messaging (which I find annoying). You can't talk about fundraisers you're doing, none of that. No wonder adoption forums only have a handful of users. Maybe it's just because I'm a blogger and I believe in freedom of speech, but the censorship on general adoption forums is too suffocating for me.
For anyone out there looking for information on American Adoptions, please don't use a general adoption forum. American Adoptions has their own forum on their website that ANYONE can subscribe to. If you're looking for someone's personal experience, that's the best place to start.
Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeletethat is crazy....why is that?
ReplyDeleteNew Reader here, also wondering why you are limited to discuss that stuff on the forums?
ReplyDeleteChrista - love your blog. I agree the forums can feel stifling. It does feel really censored. Thanks for having an adoption blog that I look forward to reading!
