Sharing Fun Holiday Photos in Your Adoption Profile

Photos are an essential part of an adoptive family profile. They are helpful in giving greater insight into who you are and what life with you is like. Photos can show you in action, and can sometimes fill in the blanks for expectant parents looking for an adoption match. After all, they really are worth a thousand words.
One smart way to create a potential connection is by sharing fun holiday photos.

Most of us have cherished traditions and memories surrounding the holidays, no matter what we celebrate. Holidays present opportunities to connect with others. You may share some traditions with family or neighbors. And, you may have similar traditions to an expectant mother considering adoption. Sharing your fun holiday photos may create a bridge between you and an expectant birth parent.

Fun holiday photos don’t have to be anything staged or fancy, just simply you/you and your partner (and even family members!) enjoying your traditions. No family is exactly the same – while your traditions may involve big parties and out-of-town visits, others may involve quiet nights in and FaceTime calls. Sharing fun holiday photos from those moments is a great way for an expectant birth parent to get a “feel” for you and what your lifestyle is like.

Posting photo and text updates to your Parentfinder Online Journal, and sharing on an adoption-specific social media account are two ways you can continue to show yourself off after completing your Parentfinder adoption profile.
