If you haven't heard about it yet, you should definitely check out the fantastic project  Ethical Storytelling ? Angela Tucker ( The Adopted Life Blog ) was one of the first adoptees to sign for it! Ethical Storytelling   is a community of non-profit and practitioners & storytellers learning how to integrate a new standard of storytelling.  To know more about this project and to learn how to tell stories with an ethic  visit the  website . As adoptees, we can benefit from this kind of approach, our stories deserve to be  truthfully and dignifiedly  told - spread the word.

Rainbow, Coalition, Mushroom, Cloud ( https://bit.ly/3egywAl ) So proud to be featured in this massive outstanding project "Adoptee Voices / Perspective Papers" compiled by Lynnelle Long, Founder of InterCountry Adoptee Voices (ICAV) , and for which so many adoptees, professionals and activists, have joined voices and forces. I was asked to respond to  "Illicit Adoption Responses from Lived Experience" for the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH)  Working Group. In the paper, you will find responses by three other Italian professionals and entrepreneurs - Dr.ssa Margarita S. Assettati and John Pierre Battersby Campitelli and Kim Soo-bok Cimaschi. Past meetings details can be found on the HCCH's Website . Thank you, Lynelle and ICAV, for this opportunity. Arp / Speaks AtCLoud  -  Alessia Petrolito

On Pxhere ( https://bit.ly/2YEjCzN ) Adoptees, how many of you, us, use social media? And how many of us are on Facebook?! Soooo many! Thanks to the   Social Media Marketing Specialization Course  offered by  Northwestern University  through  Coursera ,  I was able to learn more about social media, how they function, how they can be used, etc.  Throughout the MOOC(s) of course, Professor Randy Hlavac taught us that Virtual communities are generated by either passion or trigger event, and  can be found at the bottom of a social media pyramid (see picture).  Passion communities  are looking for new trends and gossip.
