From naming ceremonies to holiday celebrations to Gotcha day, rituals help families recognize special moments. You’ll find heart-warming stories and tips for creating your own rituals at adoptivefamilies.com/rituals.
To Change or Not to Change?
Many adoptive parents wonder how to handle name changes. In the July/August 2006 issue, Adoptive Families asked our readers how and why they decided to change or keep their child's name. Read the story and then weigh in on the debate at adoptivefamilies.com/hot-topic.
