“Bits & Pieces” Newsletter … Connecting for Support

Newsletters are an automatic benefit to membership and members are invited to contribute in a variety of ways, by…

• Sharing a part of their own story
• Offering poems that have touched them
• Drawing our attention to a relevant article
• Reviewing a book or movie or television documentary
• Letting us know of upcoming adoption related events

All input is welcomed but perhaps giving your time to help get the newsletter distributed or supporting us with fund raising activities is something that you’d enjoy doing.

Jigsaw Library

We are always happy to receive any of the adoption books that you no longer wish to keep on your bookshelf, so please mail them directly to us and we assure you, others will benefit greatly.

You may care to contact us after reading a book or watching a movie, to help explore any issues it  may have been triggered. 

 

Recommended Reading

The list of recommended reading can get your thinking about some of the issues, experiences and stories you may be interested in reading. The library exists for our members and contains more DVDs these days as the topic of adoption gets more airplay on television and documentaries.

You are welcome to comment and offer suggestions for additions to our Library.

The Guide … “Putting the pieces together”

As part of Jigsaw Membership The Guide will equip you with enough information and detail to help chart your way through the journey of search and reunion.

We try not to make assumptions about your adoption experience as everyone’s story in adoption is different … but there are common themes and they are raised within The Guide:-. 

• Putting the pieces together          
• Stages on a Journey
• Different view points
• The Outer Journey
• Gathering Information
• The Inner Journey
• Preparing for adoption reunion
• The Adoption Legacy – The Wheel         

It is hoped that you identify what further support you may need from Jigsaw … what is important to you as you progress through your journey of discovery.
