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?

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.
