#2. It led me to think how kool it would be for us to have 
a universally recognized 
ICON 
for  
ADOPTEE EQUALITY.

Which do you like better? 

Left or Right?

If we ALL sported one recognizable logo, we'd know immediately if an org supported equal access. I spent a good deal of time looking at the CWLA website to see if they did or didn't. Could find support of "oneness" i.e. open adoption, but nothing specially on OBC access.... 



This symbol would easily identify groups, orgs, blogs, FB pages etc.,...even email signatures...
and give us some needed UNITY and strength in numbers! 

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!!
