Among the many e-groups devoted to China adoption are the newsgroups dedicated to families wanting to search for their child's birth family in China. These groups, whose members number in the hundreds, share ideas and anecdotes about how a successful search should be conducted.
Additionally, there are hundreds of families informally searching. These families don't belong to any formal groups, but seek information from other adoptive parents, agencies, and other respected sources of adoption information. They all share a common goal -- to locate their child's birth family in China.
Unfortunately, for most of them a successful birth parent search will remain an unfulfilled dream.
Over on our subscription blog I explain why. It is not that a search is overly complicated, it's not. It is that most families do things that will doom their search without their even knowing it.
If you have ever considered what is involved in a search, you will not want to miss this essay.

We also have a paid subscription blog for families interested in more detailed analysis of China's program. Due to the sensitive nature of these articles, they are available by subscription only. (http://www.research-china.org/blogs/index.htm)

Be careful what you ask for - you may not like the out come.
I am really getting frustrated by the fact that I can't get into the subscription blog, even though I paid the subscription fee. I got in the first time, and since then it keeps rejecting my log-in. I know I am using the correct user name and password, because I have no trouble accessing my other blogs. Please help.
Access to the subscription blog is assigned when the subscription starts. There are several "shadow" blogs, so if a subscriber did not bookmark the assigned link, you will need to contact me for the access link again. E-mail me and I can provide the link for you.
