countdown begins to YOUR new family pride website

Now that our staff is back from sea (and getting their land legs
back) after the wonderful Rosie Cruise, we’re buckling back down
before we head off to Provincetown for another fantastic week of
workshops, programming and gatherings at Family
Week
.

Meanwhile, as the eCommunications Coordinator, I’m deep in the
creation stages of the next Family Pride website set to launch in
mid October. Back at the beginning of the year, we sent out an
email to 15,000 active subscribers on our eNewsletter, soliciting
feedback for a new site. I created a wiki so that everyone could
organize their feedback into a coherent plan.

We know that our website is your website. The work we do affects
all of our families so deeply and so personally that we knew we had
to incorporate all of your input. And the result is spectacular!
What will you be able to find on the new website? Here’s just
some of what you can expect:

  • Member maintained listings of LGBTQ-friendly adoption
    agencies
  • LGBTQ-family friendly service providers
  • An action center easy to use advocacy tools
  • A listing of LGBTQ friendly schools by state
  • A streamlined parents group listing by state
  • All the publications, tools and resources on the current
    site
  • And much, much more

But, it’s not too late to give your two cents. Do you want to see
more pictures of our families? Do you want to read more family
stories? Leave me a comment on this post and let me know what you
want to see on our new site.
