Toddler Time
Toddlers can bring a unique set of challenges to new and seasoned
parents alike, but support is just a click away. We’ve compiled
our best resources from the AF archives for parents adopting and
raising kids ages 1-3. Visit our Toddler
Page for tips on toddler adjustment, establishing routines,
sleeping though the night, and more.
Teens Speak Out
While researching part one of our Special Report on Adoption &
Teens, which you’ll find in the March/April 2005 issue, we
took a look back at some of the powerful teen voices we’ve
published over the years. Visit AF’s Teen
Page to read essays written by teen and young adult adoptees
about fitting in, connecting to cultures, and forging a strong identity.
Share Your Story
In honor of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, tell

a mom or dad.
