A ListServe can be thought of as an ongoing discussion among members who share some strong commonality, such as they are in the process of adopting or are adopting from the same specific country. When a message is posted it is automatically distributed to all the other members. When someone replies, the reply goes to all the members. Therefore, everyone has the chance to hear everyone else's experiences. The ListServe is private so only members have access to the postings and discussion. ListServes are free of charge. Southern Tier Adoptive Families has its very own ListServe! Typical posts include announcements of upcoming events, dates and times of adoption related television shows, questions about local adoption resources, and a weekly electronic newsletter with links to national and international adoption sites. It only takes a couple of minutes to join. To subscribe, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/STAF/join and follow the simple step-by-step directions.
