9 Years Late
I just got off the phone with an interviewer. He had questions about our adoption website: HopeToAdopt.com and was considering adding it into a TV story he was working on. Oh I wished for such a break years ago! But today our site is in transition. It was a delightful conversation and I’m so tickled he’d find me, call me and care about my input. I asked him where he was 9 years ago when we paid to have a story done for public television that never went anywhere!
The crazy thing is I actually gave the one adoption site that’s been on my crap list for the past decade a media referral! I figure if it does anything good for the adoption world in general it’s worth it. I’ve never cared for the attitude, approach or monopoly factor of Adoption.com but I do care deeply for adoption and those affected by it. So I passed him on to them. *gasp*
On the bright side, he complimented me on our site and efforts and said he thought it was a great story that should be told! I feel that way too. I will never regret what we put into it or all the great things that have come from it! Too bad this call was 9 years late.

There is a reason behind all this….perhaps things would not have had as significant an impact - or perhaps you would not have been so motivated all those years ago - if it had been as easy as having someone call to so a story. Who knows. It is nice to be acknowledged for ‘works’ even all these years later
Great point! Thanks for sharing it.
