Adoption at the Movies Two-Year Blogiversary!
Adoption at the Movies recently celebrated its two-year
blogiversary. Back in October of 2012, the site opened with a review of Disney’s
The Odd Life of Timothy Green. Since then, we’ve covered around 150 films, and
Adoption at the Movies has been read in over 100 countries. Adoption at the
Movies’ reviews have also been carried in several foster care, adoption, and
social work magazines. Also, since then, I moved from Missouri to Los Angeles,
which is really a neat place to live when you’re writing movie reviews! Last
week, Adoption at the Movies was also honored as Addison Cooper was presented
with an Emerging Leader award by the Eastern Nazarene College Alumni
Association.

We’ve recently run a few polls on Adoption at the Movies, to
help know how the site is used, and how it can be most helpful. Most readers
come to the site looking for a review of a specific movie. Adoptive and foster
parents want to know whether a movie will be a positive or a negative
experience for their kids. The most requested films are current films with
ratings up to PG 13, with a slight preference for animated films; parents also
are interested in reviews of already-released films with definite adoption
connections.
I’m looking forward to the next several years of adoption
movie reviews. Thanks for being here, and please keep reading! New reviews come
out every Tuesday!
In celebration of the first 2 years of Adoption at the
Movies (and because I’m kind of a stats geek), here are the most-viewed posts
from each month of the first 2 years! Any that you haven’t seen yet?
Check them
out! Thanks for reading, and hey, please share this with a friend!

ReplyDeleteCool to think back on your old posts, and great to have this site as a resource.
Thanks so much, Lori! I still credit you with helping me figure out how to get started in blogging. Does that make you my fairy blogmother?
