Chat?

We are trying to get this started up! Do you have any ideas on how to do that? -- J.Babe

The old adoption.com chat used to be fairly well attended at certain hours and in certain chat rooms.Try holding a few "scheduled" chats, possibly with a moderator who throws out good questions and keeps out the trolls. As an example, put a note on the adult adoptees board, inviting people to a chat from 9-10 p.m. Eastern on Wednesdays. That should get at least some people in the Central and Mountain time zones, too; it's often after dinner and before bedtime.And talk up the chats on all the boards, of course.

And by the way, PLEASE get rid of my full name. I was always known as sak9645. Many people got to know me by that screen name. I really would prefer not have my full name used, for privacy reasons.Sharon

We are having a scheduled chat at 7pm MST this wednesday. I hope to see you there! The topic is open adoption. --J.Babe
