International Adoption Stories Launches New Web Directory Aimed at Growing Adoption Community

With over 21,000 international adoptions by US citizens in 2005, InternationalAdoptionStories.com has become a trusted resource to educate and guide people through the International Adoption process.

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- InternationalAdoptionStories.com has launched a new international adoption directory of personal adoption stories, agency advice, medical information, parenting tips, adoption news and assistance with adoption expenses.

The Internet is a growing resource for prospective parents looking for information about adoption, but much of it can be misleading or inaccurate. InternationalAdoptionStories.com created a trusted resource to help guide people through the process. InternationalAdoptionStories.com is a clearinghouse of information and stories provided for prospective parents, adoptive parents, adoptees, their friends and family as well as adoption professionals.

“Prospective parents go through a great deal of scrutiny by the U.S. government, the adoption authority in the desired country and by their adoption agency. People are required to gather hundreds of pages of information, go through extensive background checks, adhere to strict guidelines and take mandatory parenting classes,” said International Adoption Stories Executive Director John R. Wall. “It’s easy for people to get lost in the deluge without a resource to help guide them through and provide information about the process. InternationalAdoptionStories.com provides that resource.”

International Adoption is a great option for singles and couples looking to open their homes to a child. Over 21,800 children will be adopted internationally in 2005 with over 7,906 of them coming from mainland China. That is an increase of over 156% from China since 2002 alone.

InternationalAdoptionStories.com was founded by John R. Wall and Susan Morrison Wall in 2005. The site pulls information from adoption professionals and the experience of other adoptive parents to create an adoption resource and to educate and enhance the understanding of adoption.
