Hi all - do any of you recommend subscribing to Adoptivefamilies.com for $29.95 per year?  I am finding a lot of articles via google that lead me to their site, but they are subscription based.  Just wondering if anyone else has subscribed and thinks it's worth it.

Thanks in advance!

I have a subscription and find that there are many helpful articles.

Oh man, I was wondering the same thing! It seems like every interesting article I come across requires login. I am skeptical of pulling the trigger, because it seems pricey for the content... Although I guess it could still be relevant even after placement.

I think it will actually be mostly helpful (or at least as helpful) after placement.  Kind of like a subscription to the magazine Parenting, but focusing on adoptive families.  I'm hoping the subscription fee means they pay good writers who write for a living over writers who are instructed to create link bait!  I'll let you know if I sign up.

I subscribe to it and find it helpful ... not every single article but enough to make me be OK with paying for the subscription.

The message boards (at least for our current phase/status) isn't very active but I'm not sure about the other phases yet.

I have loved the magazine, and was disappointed that it went to an online-only format. I have found it very helpful, especially in offering up book recommendations for children and adults to deal with the hard topics like biracial families, racism, etc.
