Creating your "Dear Birthmother" web page.

We will publish your letter of introduction ("Dear Birthparent(s)" letter) on AdoptionOnline.com using our standard web page format.

Adoption professionals recommend that these detailed letters include occupation(s), hobbies, personality styles, religious affiliation, family configuration, home environment, and anything else you feel provides an accurate portrait of the type of life you will provide for a child. It may be helpful to refer to letters currently posted on AdoptionOnline.com for examples.

In addition to your letter, the web page will contain:

• 4 photographs (more available)
• Contact information for you and/or your adoption professional (e-mail, phone, etc.)
• A survey form for birthparents to give you valuable feedback letter.

Adding Photos to your web page

Gold level members may provide up to 4 photos to be placed on your web page. You should submit photographs of yourself, your home, pets or anything else you feel will better tell your story.

Our experience shows that web pages with more photographs have more positive results. Birthparent(s) need to picture the kind of life his/her child will have when you are chosen as the adoptive family. Nothing does that better than pictures!

All photos will appear directly on your letter. Please refer to our example listing to see exactly how this works.

Our "Find A Family" search engine

Potential Birthparent(s) find your web page on AdoptionOnline.com by using our unique search feature, "Find a Family". We specifically designed this search engine so that each search term displayed leads to at least one prospective adoptive family. With "Find a Family" we've eliminated disappointing searches that yield zero results.

Gold level members may choose up to 10 search terms to uniquely identify your listing. In the results of a Featured Family search, Gold level members are shown before Bronze level members.

Please visit the Find A Family page to see the search terms currently in use. If you think of an appropriate search term not currently in use we will add it to the search engine at no cost to you.

When a potential Birthparent gets the results of a "Find A Family" search, he/she will see a "thumbnail" (small) version of your main photo along with several lines of descriptive text next to your name. This descriptive text is written by you. The descriptive text should be designed to draw a potential Birthparents attention, and can be a synopsis of your listing or whatever you think will be effective. See our descriptive text example to see how this works.
