Considering Adoption in Florida? Here are Five Great Blogs to Check Out!
When considering adoption in Florida, beginning your adoption journey, or simply going through the first few years of post-adoption, it’s important that you continue to self-educate and learn more about adoption and parenting. Here are several blogs that we recommend checking out if you’re interested in learning about others’ adoption journeys!
Allison Kenny’s Raising A Go Girl blog is a great resource for LGBTQ parents hoping to adopt. She started the blog in 2014 when she brought home her “6-year-old soon-to-be-adopted daughter.” She touches on topics such as trauma, raising a child in a queer, multiracial family, self-care, and of course, parenting!
Adoptive Families Circle Blogs

Confessions of an Adoptive Parent
People love the Confessions of an Adoptive Parent blog! Mike and Kristen Berry, parents to eight adoptive children, along with their team “strive to encourage moms and dads along this unique journey of foster and adoptive parenting, and provide resources to help you become a better parent.”
