As with any topic, I feel people should be allowed to share what they are feeling...and if the topic is limited to a week it will give adoption.com an opportunity to "refresh" the conversation board and give its members an longer duration in which to participate. I would also suggest the link to the board to be under its own heading (after the disclaimer). There are so many topics to choose from one that I am intresting is: How the adoption process affected older adoptees (those in foster care and adopted at a time they could recall their former lives). Their bonding issues, reasons for searching and reunions are are of intrest to me. Any additional thoughts?Jess

Please let me know if you have a better title for the third new board. The title I gave it is kind of awkward. E-mail nathan@adoption.com.
