There used to be a list of questions that a birthparent and adoptee could ask to get to know each other better.
I found it on this site a few years ago and now I have lost it....
Does anyone know where it is?

Roni,
That is a great idea. Only thing is I know that there is one on this site somewhere. I got it years ago and then my computer crashed and now its gone. Rats.
Maybe it would be better if we tried it?
It is funny that I ran across this subject tonight. I actually just sent questions to my daughters birthparents for them to complete so that I can put them in her keepsake box... Here is my list:
1. Why I chose Adoption:
2. How I feel about you:
3. Why I chose your parents for you:
4. What I wish for you in life:
5. My Favorite Things:
Colors:
Songs:
Musicians:
Movies:
Foods:
Animals:
Hobbies:
School Subjects:
Holidays:
Sports:
Season:
TV Shows:
Books:
Cars:
6. About Me:
My personality:
People often describe me as:
My goals and dreams for my life are:
My favorite memories are:
My special talent is:
Important people in my life:
7. More Things I Would Like You to Know About Me:
8. Songs that remind me of you are:
9. The best thing about you is:
10. If I had to tell you one thing it would be:
What I 've done over the past few months is take those e-mail surveys that get passed around (you know, Last time you cried, last movie you watched, do you like coke or pepsi etc.) and I've saved them. Hopefully if I get the chance to have correspondence with my DD (which probably wouldn't happen for a few years yet) I think it would be a cool, kind off ice breaker way to ask random questions and read eachothers responses.

Thank you - I printed this and will be using it. Actually, when my daughter was adopted they asked me for a box of things that were special and pictures and stuff - somehow this was thrown out or whatever. Either way, she never received it. It had beautiful 8x10's of us and me and her and her first christmas dress, etc. - all lost now.
