16) Speak to PAP's formally and informally about finding ethical agencies
--David K's: is a good place to start
--Encourage PAP's to join Adoption_Agency_Research
--Don't let PAP's wander into danger with their rose-colored glasses on. Do your best to show them a more balanced, more mature view of adoption. Do your best to warn them of the problems in the country from which they intend to adopt. Warn them to avoid countries where corruption problems are rampant or those countries where problems are "coming to a head."
--Commit yourself to PAP education more broadly. Be patient. Remember the goal. Be persistent and be kind. Remember yourself when you were a PAP.
