Stuck on Writing? Try Using Lists in Your Adoption Profile.

For the most part, most hopeful adoptive parents stick with the classic, three paragraph approach to each section of their adoption profile. This is a great way to elaborate and truly express individuality. But, many parents want to know if they can go another route and use lists. Using lists in your adoption profile is great for when you want to provide insight without using too many words.

Lists might sound boring, but they can be creative! So, without further ado, here are some ideas for lists that you can incorporate into your own parent profile. Enjoy!
