		<description><![CDATA[The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute has just released a major new report recommending that every state enact legislation restoring the right of all adult adoptees to access their own original birth certificates (OBCs).  The new Policy Brief, "For the Records II: An Examination of the History and Impact of Adult Adoptee Access to Original Birth Certificates," is based on a years-long examination of relevant judicial and legislative documents; of decades of research and other scholarly writing; and of the concrete experiences of states and countries that have either changed their laws to provide these documents or never sealed them at all.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=spencechapin.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12685675&amp;post=76&amp;subd=spencechapin&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was an excellent feature on ABC News on June 25th about how Facebook is impacting the world of adoptive and birth families.  As I pointed out in my article in Adoptive Families magazine on the same topic, individuals now have access to each other without the support or preparation that can be so helpful in negotiating these new relationships.  While openness is a wonderful opportunity for all members of the adoption triad to know each other and understand their shared path, relationships are never easy and often fraught with emotional landmines.  Teenagers are particularly prone to jumping in rather than slowly building these relationships.  Parents need to keep communication going about what their kids are feeling and wanting to do in relationship to their birth family.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=spencechapin.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12685675&amp;post=73&amp;subd=spencechapin&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times, on Friday, June 18, featured an article by Susan Dominus entitled Campaigning for Common Ground in Abortion Debate.  The article profiles the Adoption Access Network, a Spence-Chapin initiative which is spearheaded by Cori Lohser, Program Manager for Community Advocacy and Outreach.  AAN's mission is to align abortion and family planning clinics across the country with adoption agencies like Spence-Chapin to help women dealing with an unplanned pregnancy explore all of their options.  AAN works closely with adoption specialists in clinics and community health centers to provide training, guidance and logistical support.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=spencechapin.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12685675&amp;post=69&amp;subd=spencechapin&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During Internet Week New York (June 7-14), I have been thinking about the role that the internet, and particularly social media, has come to play in the life of Spence-Chapin and other non-profits.  Over the past year, we have watched our online involvement grow from a simple hand-coded webpage to a dynamic site, ripe with content, multiple Facebook groups, a Facebook page with over 600 fans, and an adoption blog.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=spencechapin.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12685675&amp;post=66&amp;subd=spencechapin&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
