How does the book tour work?

• Sign up for the book tour by June 20th. Sooner is much better than later as we expect the tour to fill up quickly. Everyone wanting to explore the montage of adoption is invited to join. This includes Adult Adoptees, First Parents, Adoptive Parents and Pre Adoptive Parents. People in open or closed adoption, people with a favorable view of adoption and people who don’t, as well as everyone in between.

• We will announce the summer book selection on July 1st.

• You will have to get the book. Buy it, borrow it or get it from the library as soon as we announce the selection. Start reading.

• Come up with 2 or 3 discussion questions (not yes/no), which will be due to me by August 15th.

• By August 20th, you will receive a list of questions that the other participants have posted. From this list you will choose any three to answer on Trimunity’s Summer Book tour page and on your own blog (don’t worry if you don’t have a blog). YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A BLOG TO PARTICIPATE.

• Have your answers to your chosen questions ready to post by August 25th. The book study takes place over three days – August 27, 28 and 29 on Trimunity. One third of the participant’s posts’ appearing each day. The complete series of questions and answers will be published in the September 1st issue of the Adoption Registry magazine.

• On the tour days, links to the participants’ answers will be posted on Trimunity’s page, your own blog (if you have one) and on the Carlsbad Adoptive Family Examiner page.

You can then read and comment on the answers from other people who have read and are discussing. The book study is designed so that each person reads and comments RESPECTFULLY on the thoughts of other participants.

• The study is able to accommodate up to 24 readers, so sign up soon.

TO PARTICIPATE PLEASE COMPLETE THE SIGN UP FORM.
