www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/X5W7PRJAuk are doing a survey at the moment unti next Sunday night about it's membership asking questions like are you/were you a member etc It gives you the opportunity to state why you left, what you would like to see, what would entice you to come back etc. It only takes about 10 minutes to complete and I thought some of you might like to complete it in order to have your say as to why you left

I completed it. These surveys are very popular. I've done a few - including feedback on buying a bed, and doing voluntary work with Crisis at Christmas. I've been around a long time and I still remember with nostalgia the old PPIAS magazine. I used to love getting it. It helped me stay sane. This was in the days before computing and forums. It was an article by an adoptive parent in the PPIAS magazine that changed my life. I realised that both my adopted children had the symptoms of ADHD (which I had never heard of before). Then began my battle to get them diagnosed and treated. 26 years on my 32 year old daughter takes medication for her ADHD. She asked to go back on medication as an adult. Sadly I did not like the new adoption magazine. Nor did I like the conference that I attended so I ended my membership.

Have completed, especially as I was removed from the boards as they said that my free membership---just for the boards---was no longer available

Hello Imp
Could you clarify? I use the boards of Adoption UK but have not been a member for some years for the reasons I stated. I imagine there are quite a few people in the same situation.

I belong
But how dumbed down the magazine is
Most of us are educated thoughtful people - or we would not be adopters
The magazine is full of bite sized remarks
It is an insult
It is embarrassing
I learn more on these forums - well done everyone
Our collective knowledge is far more helpful

What do you mean Imp "removed from the boards?"
Were you banned? I don't remember you ever causing trouble.
I'm not a member, haven't been for years. I go on there as a guest occasionally just to read adoption news, but I refuse to post or join in after the way they treated adopters who were just being honest about their situation and the lack of help/support, hence us all being here and on POTATO site.
Are you saying you can't even read the boards imp?
