1. Be as authentic as you can be.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, your mom\u2019s advice is still golden: be yourself. Perhaps you are representing the best version of yourself but shoot for that picture to be recognizable in your adoptive parent profile book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your adoptive parent profile book should give the expectant woman<\/a> (and her partner or family) an idea of who you are and\u00a0what type of parent you hope to be<\/a>. Keep your language realistic when speaking of how you want to parent this child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Write your profile as if you are talking with a friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use informal language without being too familiar or casual. Try reading the content out loud to hear how you sound. If a $1 word works, don\u2019t use a $10 word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Try not to sound desperate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know this is an awkward project. And you might very well be feeling a little desperate. It\u2019s a challenging journey, and you have the right to struggle with these feelings<\/a>. But your parent profile is not the place to process those emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Choose candid and action shots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever it\u2019s possible, use \u201creal life\u201d pictures in your adoptive parent profile book<\/a>. Too many posed or staged photographs can make you appear stiff or inauthentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Use captions for your pictures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your captions should be as descriptive as possible. You are looking for words that will capture the feelings, not just the actions in the photos. For example, when you share a picture of Rob wrestling with the nephews, say, \u201cHere is Rob playing his favorite role \u2013 Uncle Robby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Don\u2019t show too much.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your vacation scenes, please avoid pictures that show too much skin. For example, photos of bikinis and Speedos don\u2019t necessarily give \u201cparent vibes\u201d to an anxious, expectant woman. Plus, a woman carrying 30+ pounds of baby weight might feel turned off by them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
