In a society so misinformed by the media- news channels, movies,

television shows- of the realities of adoption, my thesis, Ad-Opt-Ed.com,

aims to dispel all the myths with subjective education, or learning through

the experiences of others. Because it has become such a taboo topic in our

culture, is had also become awkward to ask about. Curious peoples not

belonging to the adoption community can get the first hand experience

information from here. The website designed is for all members of the

adoption community to upload their personal stories and experiences with

adoption (adoptees, birth parents, siblings, adoptive parents) on topics

ranging from reunion fantasies to meeting your adopted child for the first

time to the struggles after giving up an infant for adoption- 360 degrees of

experiences! I hope this site can start a discussion about the realities of

adoption among people other than adoptees. My other goal is for people

without any knowledge on the subject to get information that isn’t just

statistical, but personal. It will help people considering adopting a child or

giving up an unplanned infant. People will be able to use others

experiences with adoption educationally to make up their minds on the

path they want to take on their own journeys.
