AdoptionFilm.org is raising money to cover production costs of Adoption: An American Revolution (working title), a special project for national public television broadcast that will include a two-hour film, an extensive Web site and an ambitious outreach campaign to schools and communities.  The film will use interviews with adoptive and birth parents and extended families, with adopted children and adults, and adoption professionals and experts to explore the major impact that adoption is having on private and public life in America.

Producer Eric Stange continues to share the behind-the-scenes scoop in the “Filmmakers’ Journal.” His most recent entry considers the lessons to be learned when several department and toy stores began marketing a line of dolls with a "Newborn Nursery Adoption Center" theme, setting up a scenario in which kids pretend to be adoptive parents picking out infants from a nursery.

AdoptionFilm.org is raising money to cover production costs of Adoption: An American Revolution (working title), a special project for national public television broadcast that will include a two-hour film, an extensive Web site and an ambitious outreach campaign to schools and communities.  The film will use interviews with adoptive and birth parents and extended families, with adopted children and adults, and adoption professionals and experts to explore the major impact that adoption is having on private and public life in America.

Program producer WGBH has already secured partial funding for the project from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), but that grant came with a deadline:  final funding needs to be in place by the end of 2005.  So WGBH is turning directly to viewers for the support needed to produce the project, recognizing that the real story of how adoption is changing America has the potential to appeal to the millions of Americans who are directly affected.  One-third of people in the US now have someone in their family who was adopted, and many more have friends and neighbors who were adopted.

WGBH Boston is America's preeminent public broadcasting producer, the source of fully one-third of PBS's prime-time lineup, along with some of public television's best-known lifestyle shows and children's programs and many public radio favorites. Its production menu is diverse, including Nova, Frontline, American Experience, Antiques Roadshow, Masterpiece Theatre, Arthur, and Zoom on PBS and The World and Sound & Spirit on public radio. WGBH has been recognized with hundreds of honors: Emmys, Peabodys, duPont-Columbia Awards…even two Oscars.

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site" 
-- CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive.
I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
