Any suggestions for an EASY place to make an adoption website? I'm not by any means a techno geek, so need something user friendly? Please PM me!Also any hints/suggestions/ideas for the photo album to be shared with potential birth parents? I purchased two of the small 8x8's on clearence at target, I scrapbook, but I'm not sure if I should make these big or keep them simple? Do I include the letters in the album just as they will appear on our online profile? I may be moving so I'm trying to get things done in advance!Also any helps and hints with a general letter to give to friends/family/and professional associates to let them know we are adopting? We are ready to network. My dh is a Doctor in a very busy veterinary pracitce. Would it be appropriate to put up something at his office or is that just presumptive-perhaps a business like card? I don't even know if he will do this or not but I think it would deffinatly help as people love him as their Veterinarian. I plan on giving a letter to all of the Doctors and Pediatricians we have been able to work with through the care of our foster children, I have been so impressed with many of these selfless medical providers who are, for the most part, pro-adoption. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.L

There are really no "rules" on building your profile except for size, but I felt that the space was limited for how much info/photos I wanted to show. SO, I made my online profile TOTALLY different than our paper one, and then referenced in each, that the other existed with different photos. You want to give an accurate representation of your family to a total stranger, and leave them with a correct impression of yourselves. Make up some rough drafts and ask friends and family to read it and look at it and see if it gives an accurate impression of you guys. Some people care more about style (layout etc...) I am not a scrapbooker and my profile pics showed that LOL...but I also made more of a collage of tons of photos in a WIDE array of situations to illustrate that we had a wide array of interests and went and did lots of adventurous stuff..... I also saw a profile that was 4 simple photos of their existing daughter playing in their garden....that was beautifully done. It captured their home life and personality well. Remember PB parents aren't looking for perfection, but rather a match....someone who already feels like family is how I heard one girl describe it. Just be true to yourself/your style and you won't go wrong. Let your profile be an exact illustration of your lives.We have a myspace account and a yahoo photoalbum account that we created specifically to keep in touch with the bfam of our dd. I can also blog there and send bulletins, but the bfam had to have a myspace account already. Maybe someone else has an idea of a good website they use as well?
