Free pass along cards!

Front of our old pass along cards

Looking for an EASY way to inform and/or remind others you are waiting to grow your family through adoption? Here is a great deal to get you started! When we first got approved to adopt I got our cards through Vista Print and I was very happy with them. They have a deal going on right now where you get 250 free - just pay the cost of shipping (around $6).

Another website I've heard good things about and that is also inexpensive for cards is Spaces For Faces.

And since you get 250 you will be busy finding new places to stash 'em. I've heard some great ideas lately like sending out Valentine's Cards with your card included, or how about St. Patrick's day?

Here are some other ideas on how to use pass-along cards.

• Slip one in any letter or bill that you send out
• Holiday cards: New Years, Valentine’s, Fourth of July
• Hang them up where’er you go: grocery stores, apartment complexes, car washes, community bulletin boards, etc.
• Keep them handy in your wallet or purse.
• Staying in tune for opportunities to share!
• Asking trusted family and friends to share them as well.
• Leave a pass along card with your bill at restaurants.
• If you see a “business card” drop box, drop one in.
• If someone asks about your family, pull out a “family photo” conveniently disguised as a pass along card and leave it with them. Perfect opportunity to talk about your desire to adopt.
• Don’t be afraid, even if you don’t feel comfortable sharing your own story, share the agency cards!
• Email Pass Along Card to everyone in your address book, 
ask to forward it on!
