Hello! I have a lot to share with you all in this latest edition of the Adoption Newsletter.

First, here are the latest articles from the Adoption site at BellaOnline.com.

After the Adoption
The domestic adoption process doesn't end once you bring a baby home from the hospital. If you're wondering what to expect post placement, this article will help. It details the remaining steps of the adoption process from the day you bring your baby home to the day you finalize the adoption.

I also wanted to share that my book about miscarriage and adoption, From Pain to Parenthood, was recently named a finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the Parenting/Family category. I am honored and excited to receive this recognition. But the best reward of all is the difference I'm making in the lives of those struggling with infertility and considering adoption. I am happy to share my knowledge and experiences, both in my book and here at BellaOnline. Thank you all for your support!
