November is a special month. Almost exactly a year ago, I was spending evenings on my laptop putting together this site. My wife and I had the idea that we wanted to give back and contribute to the community that we are part of - the fostadopt community. We felt like there were few dedicated resources for parents of Children of Trauma to share and support one another online. I work in Web Development and this seemed to be a good way to help out. My good friends at Brownrice Internet agreed to provide hosting so over a matter of two weeks in the evenings and weekends we knocked it out.

So one reason that November is special to me is because it is the anniversary of TraumaAdoption.org. On November 1, we will be one year old! It really doesn't seem that long.

The launch was planned for November 1. It wasn't an abitrary date. November is officially (in the United States) National Adoption Month.
