Welcome to this new adoption blog!

I originally had an idea to create a book with a collection of stories about what happens after adoptees and their parent(s) reunite. All the possible outcomes, from a fairytale, type reunion, still fraught with complex feelings, to "Secondary rejection", to finding a grave... I feel as if I would have loved to have had a book like this to read before seeking reunion... Something to prepare me for the gamut of possible outcomes. The person who guided me through my reunion tried to prepare me. But honestly, I don't know how anyone can prepare for a reunion and the aftermath. 

I have decided to change the format from a book to blog by the same name.
People seem to like that idea better. Plus it could eventually be made into a book later on. 

So the question is, would you like to be a "Guest blogger"?
Would you like to share your story of reunion, and what happened after?

Ideally, I am looking for guest bloggers who are at least a year into reunion. Only because I personally know how a reunion can seem to be fine for a while, then BAM! You are asked not to be in contact anymore. 

If you are interested, please send your story to whathappensafterreunion@gmail.com

I will also need to know what information about yourself you want public. 
For example, do you just want to be called by just your first name? or your whole name? 
It is COMPLETELY up to you what information is posted. 

You will also need to let me know if you want info posted so people could contact you directly to talk about your story? Social media contact info? Email address? Don't forget, if you want to keep your story anonymous, you may do that... but if you also want to talk to people, you can just make a gmail account for that purpose. 

you may include photos if you like. 

Again the choice is yours. 

I look forward to hearing from you!
