Adoption Advocate No. 46Posted Apr 01, 2012
A Deeper Conversation on Information Sharing in Adoption: Compromise Offers Promise and Keeps Promises
By: Megan Lindsey
Since 1980, the National Council For Adoption (NCFA) has worked to strengthen the culture of adoption in the U.S. and around the world. American society has come to recognize and honor adoption as a means of serving the best interests of children, birthparents, adoptive families, and society at large. While there is always room for improvement, it speaks positively of Americans' views and knowledge of adoption that adoption practices have become increasingly open and less secretive over time, minimizing the inappropriate connotation that adoption is ever, in any way, a shameful process.1
A society that openly accepts and respects the positive practice of adoption allows all individuals who are part of the "adoption triad" – adopted individuals, birthparents, and adoptive parents – to feel accepted and validated if and when they choose to share their adoption stories with others, or when they decide to seek out more information about their own adoption stories. It is equally important that all members of the adoption triad and the public at large be equally accepting in those less frequent cases when an adopted individual or birthparent prefers to keep all or part of his adoption story confidential. A healthy culture of adoption requires that each individual participant has the right to choose which parts of her adoption story to share, whom to share it with, and at what time. It should also be her decision whether and when to seek previously undisclosed details about her adoption. Similarly, if confidentiality has been promised and remains desirable to any adopted individual or birthparent, it should be within their power to maintain it.
The debate over who should have access to original birth and adoption records, and when they should have it, is many-layered and often fraught with emotion on all sides. This article examines ways in which state laws, the adoption community, and the public can best honor the wishes of those seeking information and/or contact while also maintaining the right to privacy for those who desire it. If we expand this often contentious conversation – taking a less narrow and divisive approach to the issue of sharing information and reuniting birthparents and adoptees – it is possible to pursue solutions that benefit everyone.
History of Birth Records and Information Sharing
Adoption practices have evolved significantly over time. Historically, there was a period in this country when adoption was unfairly viewed as something best kept secret. Unintended pregnancies and parenting outside of marriage both carried a far greater stigma than they do today, and infertility was also viewed less sympathetically. As a result, birthparents, adoptive parents, and adopted individuals often faced public censure or judgment, and adoption was viewed as a last resort rather than a positive option for children and families. In the vast majority of these past cases, despite facing an inappropriate and unfair cultural stigma, members of the adoption triad most likely had good intentions – birthparents choosing the option of adoption frequently did so in order to secure their child's future, and many adoptive parents seeking to build a family provided safe, loving environments for their children. While adoption practice and counseling has by necessity changed a great deal – and for the better – it is reasonable to believe that, on the whole, adoption professionals in the past sought to serve the interests of children and families as best they could.
Early 20th-century adoption practices often sought to maintain the confidentiality of birthparents, due to both the stigma attached to adoption and the belief of many adoption practitioners that confidentiality would encourage attachment between children and their adoptive families. Unfortunately, practices promoting confidentiality also tended to perpetuate the perception of adoption as something shameful. Both practice and laws built a system that established confidentiality as the norm in adoption. In 1916, New York enacted the first law in the U.S. sealing adoption records from the public, and in 1917, Minnesota enacted a law sealing records from inspection by adult adoptees and birthparents as well as the general public. 2 By the 1950s, the vast majority of states had sealed adoption records, and most had already implemented a system that created new birth certificates listing only a child's adoptive parents.3 These birth certificates provided legal documents of parentage to adoptive families while concealing the identities of birthparents and adopted individuals from one another and from the public.
Today adoption is far more widely accepted and celebrated as the positive outcome it is for birthparents, children, and adoptive families. Over time, this positive shift in cultural perception has led to more open adoption practices in a majority of U.S. cases. However, confidentiality (or more limited openness options that allow for the possibility of anonymity) remains important to a small number of participants, including some prospective birthparents.4 A recent survey questioned 100 private agencies from across the United States about the levels of openness in the adoptions they had facilitated during a two-year period; of the 4,400 adoptions facilitated by reporting adoption service providers, 5% (approximately 220) were confidential adoptions. 5 If this same percentage were analogously applied to the approximately 18,078 adoptions facilitated annually nationwide,6 we would see that approximately 904 adoption triads choose to participate in a confidential adoption each year.
While a clear majority of adoptions today contain some level of openness, and NCFA believes that this is a good trend, a choice made in one out of every twenty adoptions should not be discounted. If 5% of adoptions today are confidential upon the mutual agreement of adoption parties, then it is probable that a much higher percentage of individuals involved in past adoptions may well have desired confidentiality in part because open adoptions were less widely accepted.
Birth Records and Information Sharing Today
Given that a great and increasing majority of domestic adoptions today are open to some degree, and that best practice now requires birthparents to share, at minimum, medical and social background information with the adoptive family and adopted individual, the debate over birth records and information sharing has and will continue to subside. In domestic adoptions today, adoption professionals recommend that contact preferences be determined prospectively – at the time of an adoptive placement – while allowing for some future flexibility, as an individual's preferences may change over time.7
Although total confidentiality in adoption has become far less common, some participants still prefer confidential adoption or a lesser degree of openness, which may include sharing only minimal information or communicating on very limited terms. Still, the trend towards openness is clear. In a recent study measuring levels of openness, birthparents and adoptive parents were interviewed and asked to report on the level of openness in their adoptions. The spectrum included a continuum of openness with seven openness descriptors. Adoptions described as "very closed" and "closed" were reported at 6% or less amongst the groups of reporting parents, showing that the vast majority of adoptions today have some level of openness.8
NCFA's Position
Over time, as open and semi-open adoptions have become the norm, there has also been an increasing amount of interest in exchanging information or facilitating reunions between birthparents and adopted individuals. Likewise, over time, NCFA's position has come to encompass the need for accommodation and compromise on the issues of information exchange, search, and reunion.
Absolutist advocates for open records claim that NCFA has always been and continues to be anti-reunion and anti-information sharing. This is untrue. NCFA has never opposed adoption reunions or information sharing, and in fact both accepts and encourages these outcomes for willing parties. Since our founding in 1980, NCFA has counted amongst our membership many adoption service providers that facilitate open adoption. We fully support reunions and the exchange of identifying information between members of the adoption triad when the parties themselves wish for such an exchange.
On rare occasions, a party to adoption may feel compelled to seek and later maintain his or her confidentiality. In these instances, NCFA encourages the keeping of past promises, while still satisfying those seeking information to the greatest extent possible and acceptable to the other party (or parties). This position of compromise is one NCFA has advocated throughout its history. NCFA's first president, William Pierce, was once quoted as saying, "I don't think open records are fair, but I don't think closed records are fair either."9 As former NCFA president Thomas Atwood later explained, "NCFA does not oppose reunions or the exchange of identifying information between mutually consenting parties to adoption. What we oppose is the law empowering one party to adoption to force himself or herself on another."10
What is the law today?
Laws regarding access to birth records vary from state to state. For a full review of these state laws, the Child Welfare Information Gateway provides a useful summary in their Access to Adoption Records: Summary of State Laws.11 Specific state laws can also be retrieved by using the State Statutes Search available at www.childwelfare.gov12 or by reviewing the state's adoption code. A brief review of the major types of policies these laws put into place regarding access to birth records is as follows:
Open Records: Original birth records of adoptees are available to them upon request once they reach the age of majority (18 or 21, depending on the state). Presently, only six states currently have open records laws.
Nondisclosure Veto: A document filed by one party to adoption expressing their right to refuse that their identifying information be disclosed to a searching party.
Contact Veto: A document filed by one party to adoption expressing their right to refuse to be contacted. At times, this veto may extend to varying degrees of relatives as well.
Bifurcated System: A state law by which different disclosure protocols are in place before and after a dividing date in time. For example a state may have a confidential intermediary system before a certain year, and allow for records to be accessed by adopted individuals at the age of majority after a specific date unless a nondisclosure veto has been filed.
Confidential Intermediary System (sometimes known as an "active registry"): A system by which a party to an adoption requests information or contact with another party or parties through an intermediary, an individual or entity who facilitates communication. The intermediary then contacts the other party or parties in order to determine whether they are open to contact or the sharing of information. Information is then relayed to the requesting party to the extent agreed upon by the non-requesting party.
Mutual Consent Registry (sometimes known as a "passive registry"): A system allowing individuals involved in an adoption to register, stating their willingness to exchange information or make contact with another party to their adoption (or, in some cases, stating their wish not to be contacted).
Court Order Only: In every state, a protocol is in place where original birth certificates or information, including medical or identifying information, can be requested if they can meet the state's required standard of proof. Typically the standard is a high one, requiring an emergent need such as a severe illness that might be able to be better treated with knowledge of medical history, not simply a desire to know the information.
Reframing the Debate: NCFA's Current Position on Information Sharing and Reunion
"All or nothing" advocacy fails.
It is unfortunate that many advocates for open records have chosen to frame the debate on records, information sharing, and reunion so narrowly. For most, the only acceptable option is for the original birth record and adoption decree to be made available to adoptees upon request once they reach the age of majority. One group goes so far as to explain that their organization "does not support mandated mutual consent registries or intermediary systems in place of unconditional open records, nor any other system that is less than access on demand to the adult adoptee, without condition, and without qualification."13 This uncompromising "all or nothing" position on the issue has, more often than not, proven too radical for state legislatures.
Since the 1970s, mandatory open records advocates have promoted the opening of birth records in nearly every state. This approach has gained them little ground. Only six states currently provide birth records to adoptees upon request at the age of majority. In all other states, birth records are only available with some "condition" or "qualification" that many open records advocates find unacceptable.
It's about individual people, not about group labels.
Framing the issue of information sharing simply as the right of adoptees to have their original birth certificates, or the right of birthparents to maintain their confidentiality, denies the variety and uniqueness of adopted individuals and birthparents. It also fails to recognize that some adopted individuals and birthparents may already have all the information they need, and may not want to be sought out or contacted. It also fails to protect adopted individuals who may not want their information shared with other parties, or may wish to release it only under certain conditions – to one birthparent but not to both, for example.
The advocates of an "all or nothing" approach to open records also make the argument that, since the majority of birthparents are open to contact, that means it is always appropriate. Unfortunately, this argument leaves out the quieter but still important voices of those who might prefer confidentiality and no contact. One study often cited as showing that the majority of birthparents (88.5%) are open to contact reveals an important caveat upon further analysis: 75% of those birthmothers who supported the release of identifying information also wanted "consent of the birth mother as [a] condition for permitting adoptees access to this information." In other words, three out of every four birthmothers who were open to allowing access also believed that any access should be based on mutual consent.14
An insistence on open records without mutual consent fails to recognize that individual birthparents' opinions exist on a spectrum, and not on one of two extreme poles (wanting contact vs. wanting complete confidentiality). If given a choice, a birthmother might desire an ongoing relationship with the child she placed for adoption, or the exchange of anonymous letters, or the provision of medical and social background information only, or some other form of information exchange or contact that she has individually chosen. The "all or nothing" approach to birth records also ignores the fact that there are two birthparents involved in many adoptions – and they might have very different opinions deserving of equal respect. Ultimately, when considering legislation regarding the sharing of adoption information, it is essential to remember that the various parties to an adoption are all unique individuals with individual rights and preferences, and protecting all parties involved is both possible and necessary.
Don't reject the common ground.
When a debate is argued in extremes, sometimes ground that might have been gained is instead surrendered for nothing. A recent example of this was seen in New Jersey in 2011, when "all or nothing" birth records advocates worked to promote and pass Bills A1406 and S797 in the state legislature. Governor Christie was concerned that the new law would break longstanding promises made to birthparents by retroactively changing laws and opening previously sealed records without their consent. Still, he understood adoptees' wishes to acquire information, and recommended a compromise of a conditional veto that established a confidential intermediary system instead of rejecting the law outright. This system would have allowed original birth certificates to be released with the permission of involved parties, or opened after contact was pursued and determined to be impossible (as in the case of a deceased birthparent). But mandatory open records advocates and the legislators representing them chose not to accept this compromise, claiming that it was insufficient. As a result of their inflexibility and refusal to compromise, their cause remains at a standstill – New Jersey adoptees' birth certificates are sealed, and can only be released by court order.
For years, similar common-ground solutions have been offered in many states, and "all or nothing" advocates have refused to accept anything less than the absolute right to open records without condition or limitation. Even when an alternative would have given the majority of these advocates exactly what they want, they turned it down and accepted nothing in exchange.
Compromise offers promise and keeps promises.
NCFA has long been an active participant regarding the issue of birth records, and has worked to ensure that birth records are not opened without consent when a promise of anonymity has been made amongst the parties to an adoption. As enthusiastically as NCFA supports open adoption and the free, voluntary exchange of information between birthparents, adoptive parents, and adopted individuals, we also oppose laws that allow one party to an adoption to have access to private information regarding another party or force contact without consent or proper notice.
It is crucial that adoption advocates continue to value and advocate for those who prefer confidentiality, because in most cases they cannot speak out on their own behalf without losing the very confidentiality they seek. NCFA believes, and experts also maintain,15 that there is no "one size fits all" approach to the issue of open records16 – because each adoption is contracted between unique individuals with their own preferences that should be honored. While adoption reunions, information sharing, and the receipt of birth records is often beneficial in satisfying the normal curiosity of those with confidential adoptions, it can also be alarming or even traumatic to be contacted or to have your information at risk of exposure when such complete disclosure is against your wishes. Further, governments that promise confidentiality in a proceeding only to revoke it later can seriously damage their credibility through such retroactive changes.
Fortunately there are a variety of flexible options that can allow state governments to create a system that seeks to benefit those interested in more information and value those who might prefer not to fully disclose. Mutual consent registries and confidential intermediary systems can be efficient, effective programs by which any information exchanged is offered voluntarily. Following is a further explanation of both systems.
Mutual consent registries are also known as "passive systems," meaning that participants must elect to include themselves. There are advantages and disadvantages to this type of system. The most significant advantage is that it is not difficult to implement; a simple registry can be easily registered for and maintained. A voluntary registry also guarantees that all participants are interested in and open to contact, because registering requires their proactive participation.
Mutual consent registries must receive broad publicity to be fully effective. Parties to adoption must be made aware of this system, or those interested and open to contact cannot benefit from it. Information exchange and reunion cannot occur unless both parties to an adoption take the initiative to register. (In modern adoptions, many states that maintain mutual consent registries ask birthparents to make their contact preference known at the time of placement, increasing the long-term efficacy of registries, and update their preferences later should they change.)
There are also some limitations to the type of information that can be shared through mutual consent registries. In most registries, participants agree to disclose birth records or establish contact if the other party also wishes to do so. There are not as many options for those who might prefer to interact anonymously, share only social and medical information, or find another option that might better meet their individualized needs.
On the whole, mutual consent registries respect the option of confidentiality while providing adequate means for those interested in contact to connect. Because the mutual consent registry is an entirely voluntary system, it is impossible, within a properly functioning system, for any past promise of privacy to be breached.
Confidential intermediary systemsrequire more work to establish and maintain, but they also have the ability to provide many more options along a spectrum of openness/contact. In a confidential intermediary system, a party interested in information contacts the designated state office, and a trained intermediary is assigned or contracted to review the adoption records and contact the other party or parties to the adoption in an appropriately sensitive way.
Confidential intermediary systems can be created to allow for the exchange of as much or as little information as each party prefers. The availability of options would depend on the legislation establishing the particular intermediary system, but they could be designed to include open and direct contact, anonymous contact (in which information might be passed through the intermediary), access to original birth records, social and medical information only, or the ability to make contact with other biological relatives as well as birthparents. Confidential intermediary systems have the additional benefit of protecting the interests of individual birthparents who may no longer be connected to one another: an adoptee might learn the identity of or have contact with one birthparent, while the other parent's name and information is withheld.
The best confidential intermediary systems can also provide a layer of professionalism and protection that may help prevent oversight or unintended psychological damage. The ideal intermediaries are trained, professional social workers or adoption service providers that have experience in adoption and can help to facilitate the smoothest possible contact, providing (or referring for) counseling/mediation as needed to establish healthy communication. All trained confidential intermediaries should be capable of providing sensitive, non-directive support within a system that furthers the wishes of the requester while protecting the rights of both parties.
Even in professionally facilitated situations, searching parties should be aware that reunions are sensitive matters, and not always successful. For example, Catholic Charities of Newark reports that between July 2007 and February 2010, their agency facilitated 32 reunions. In all of these cases, both parties had consented to the reunion, received counseling pre-contact and post-contact, and engaged in a process that involved exchanging letters, emails, and phone calls prior to a face-to-face meeting. Of the 32 reunions facilitated, six reunions had negative outcomes, while 26 resulted in positive outcomes.17 While many people may be capable of successful, positive reunion experiences without professional support, it seems that even when these valuable services are available, the experience may still turn out negatively for some participants – as evidenced by the approximately one in five that did so even after trained professionals with Catholic Charities of Newark assisted in their adoption reunions. In all reunions resulting from a confidential intermediary system, effective intermediaries are essential to giving all individuals involved the best possible preparation and support, ensuring that news and information is given in a sensitive and appropriate manner, and helping to secure the best possible outcomes for the reunited parties.
While a confidential intermediary system can offer many options and benefits for participants, it also requires clearer and more detailed legislation than some other systems due to the many potential outcomes, as well as an ongoing system to train and regulate intermediaries. The system in Maryland is one good example of a confidential intermediary system,18 and legislation has also been proposed in New Jersey that would provide a good means of information sharing while balancing privacy concerns.19 NCFA fully supports appropriately implemented and monitored confidential intermediary systems, which provide the greatest number of possible options to the greatest number of individuals while offering access to information, protecting privacy rights, and providing professional facilitation and support throughout the process.
Final Recommendations and Conclusion
As a longtime advocate for all members of the adoption triad as well as a proponent of openness in adoption, NCFA offers the following recommendations for state legislators and others attempting to determine how best to facilitate information exchange and contact between adoption parties:
Remember that you are dealing with individuals, not statistics.When considering the right answer regarding information sharing in confidential adoptions, think about the different opinions held by various autonomous parties and the value that each individual's opinion ought to have in the way the events of his or her own life unfold.
Be creative. The simplest way of dealing with a complicated question may not be the best. When creating laws regarding adoption information sharing, provide as many options as possible. Establishing a flexible registry or offering a wide selection of contact options through a confidential intermediary system helps to ensure that all individuals involved in an adoption can find a level of exchange that they are comfortable with.
Honor all the voices in the discussion.In this debate, too often a passionate and highly vocal group of advocates aims to take away the confidentiality promised to and still desired by some individuals. Whenever possible, state governments should honor the promises stated or implied in the laws passed. If it is necessary to change laws retroactively, it should be done with great caution, to protect all citizens and preserve the trust the public places in lawmakers.
Although the discussion regarding information sharing in adoption has and will continue to become less contentious as openness in adoption becomes increasingly common and modern best practices ensure, at minimum, the exchange of important medical and social information, it is important to consider the rights and needs of those promised confidentiality in the past as well as the small number that still choose it today. NCFA will continue to advocate for holistic, creative, and respectful ways to meet the unique needs of all individuals involved in adoption, and champion current and future systems that protect the individual rights and wishes of all participants in adoption. We are committed to openness in adoption as well as access to records with mutual consent, and we hope that, as states determine how to best address this complicated issue, they will recognize the benefits of systems that offer information to interested parties whenever possible while still maintaining privacy for those who value it.

It's the middle of a new week, and there's a lot going on in the world right now...
I'm sure you don't need me to go into details about that, but there are details of something on my heart that needs to be shared..
But before I do, I want you to know that of course I understand you're afraid, I get it, and I'm fully aware of the dramatic situation happening across the globe right now...
I'm refusing to let what's happening right now be a convenient excuse.
An excuse for you to settle.
I've been receiving messages from so many people, from audience members to paying clients and students, with so many people using what's going on right now as a way to hold back and put off building and growing their dreams..
As if the world doesn't need you right now.
Which we both know is an absolute lie.
It's time for us - including myself - to ditch the limitations and step the heck up.
Because I've even allowed the external circumstances of the world right now...
My amazing husband Pat and I were having so many discussions just the other day, because it seems like clients and students that both of us work with keep coming up with the same resistances.. the same self-sabotaging patterns..
It's like they kept looking for another problem, another reason to get in their own way.
(Psst - if this is striking a cord with you, good, because that means it's just an area of you that could be shown a bit more love & accountability)
Anyway.. because we had so many 'a-ha' moments and breakthroughs between each other, I thought I'd share our insights & experiences with you.
On this week's Monday Night #REALTALK, we covered this entire topic in detail...
The topic?
Here's some of the major shifts:
>> No matter WHAT goal you have, the very first thing you need to embody is knowing that if you want it, it's already yours
>> Stop looking for all the reasons what you want won't work out...
I can't believe it.
As I'm sitting here right now typing this away on my keyboard, I'm literally going over all of the incredible things I've accomplished in the last 365 days.
Things I thought were truly, truly impossible.
Like becoming a Master Life and Success Coach + Master Practitioner in NLP, Hypnotherapy, EFT.
Like $200k in sales.
Like working with perfect-fit clients and students.
Like signing up to work with my dream coach.
And now, going into 2020, here's what's on my goal list:
Become a Trainer of Life + Success Coaching, NLP, EFT + Hypnotherapy.
Enrol 200+ students in the Happy on Mondays Coaching Certification Method.
Abstain from alcoholic drinks over the next year.
Read at least 26 books.
Commit to working out 5-6x per week.
Purchase my dream home with my dream husband Pat.
To get these goals, my next-level identity and current container needs to shift.
To do that, I went over a simple and powerful technique that I talked about in this week's Monday Night...
You know when you want something so much, you get into a bit of an obsession about it?
Like, major stress kicks in and it becomes really tough to push through and achieve it?
Wouldn't you like to know how to let go of the how, so you can actually reach your goal without pulling your hair out or spinning in circles?
On this week's Monday Night #REALTALK, we covered this entire topic in detail.
Here's some of the major shifts:
>> Overthinking the 'how' of my goal of making 100k in my first year of business led to stress and panic mode
>> Trying to control your journey and how things will unfold is not how the universe works
>> Working through my own limiting beliefs and fears using NLP, EFT & Hypnotherapy helped me completely move through scarcity mode in setting my first really ambitious goal
>> Focus on the 'what' (your goal) instead of all the little tiny details (the 'how') to avoid scarcity and neediness (the opposite of what's necessary to attract...
Have you set some big and beautiful goals for the new year?
And have you set new year goals before, only to never end up achieving them?
Yep - me too (that is, before I learned cutting-edge mindset tools like NLP + hypnosis).
Because without these tools, it's hello major procrastination + self-sabotage...
Wouldn't you like to know how to overcome this.. once and for all?
Just click here to learn these life-changing tips from this week's Monday Night #REALTALK on Goals + Self-Sabotage, and implement them yourself starting today!
Here's some of the major shifts we talked about:
I wanted to talk with you about something super important for creating success in any area of your life… and yes, you guessed it, it comes down to your mindset.
I've been fascinated with studying the field of NLP this year, so I wanted to teach on the topic of ALWAYS ASSUMING THE BEST in your life, in your career, in your relationships, in your business.. (full in-depth video on this here)
A perfect example?
I just received access to go LIVE on LinkedIn after 5 months of applying, waiting, applying, waiting…
Did I give up? You know me - absolutely not!
I kept pushing. I kept assuming the VERY best.
I kept assuming that *obviously* LinkedIn would let me in on being able to go LIVE.
I kept expecting it would come my way.
And nearly half a year later.. It's arrived.
And that's why this topic is SO relevant - about getting something you've been waiting for, for months.
This is why we always need to be always assuming the best out of...
I'm sitting here in my cozy Toronto apartment thinking about all of the NO'S that I've heard this year while taking sales calls.
In fact, I've heard a massive amount of NO'S this year.
Clearly, hearing that many NO'S was not a part of my plan for promoting and selling the 2020 RISE coaching program.
Of course, sales calls are just one of the many ways many entrepreneurs, myself included, can have things go a little off-road, a little off-plan..
That's why last night on my weekly #REALTALK, we got into the nitty-gritty topic of how to pivot when things don't go as planned in your business.
Trust me, there's been so many times in the past year of being full-time in my coaching business where things didn't go as planned.
I cried on livestreams. I panicked on the floor of my bathroom. I worried and got in my own way.
I've been there - more times than I can count on two hands.
But here's the thing...
It doesn't matter how many times things don't work out according to...
Last night on my weekly #REALTALK we went deep into how self-doubt and comparison can literally cripple you at any stage of business (if you let it) and especially so when you're just starting out!
In fact, I could do the same:
Who am I to be a business coach? There's plenty of other business coaches out there, what even makes me different? Why would someone want to work with me?
You see, we could all go there - into that self-doubt and comparison trap..
Which is also a big reason why some people succeed and others don't. They let themselves get in their own way. It's not about what others are creating... it's about what YOU want to be creating!
Here's what I suggest reflecting on ASAP and implementing right away...
Well, let's just say last night was a wild Monday Night #realtalk.
I talked on a subject that most people in the online world aren't willing to talk about..
Which is the identity shift of a new coach, and the following identity shifts that happen after that (plus, the pitfalls where most people tend to get stuck - which is why they struggle to reach the next level in their life and business, even when they're seemingly doing "all the right things")
Here's the first two stages of the "identity journey" I talked about, but trust me.. this is just the tip of the iceberg - you're definitely going to want to grab yourself a notebook, your favourite pen and get cozy with me as I drop a lot of #realtalk ...
Struggling to own your "title" as a coach, scared to put yourself out there for fear of judgement from colleages, friends or family.. or worse, you've got a lot of inner dialogue along the lines of..
It's clearly the most common fear out there for new entrepreneurs.
Getting your face on social media is quite a big deal!!!
And although you might be seeing me show up online all the time and you're like:
"Mimi! It seems so easy for you! It's "natural" for you."
It sure wasn't easy for me either. Hello! I am human just like you.
It's funny because I've been practicing this muscle for the last 2 years now and I almost forgot what it's like when you are just starting out.
But I've been digging into the archives to analyze the journey I've been on...
As a fun exercise, I wanted to check out my very first video and for some reason, I can't find it.
I think I was so ashamed of how awkward it was that I decided to delete it...lol
It was a video of me explaining how I learned to put contact lenses on...lol how relevant haha!
But, I've found some pretty good ones in the early stages of my business and I really want you to check them out to see the evolution between Feb 2018 and...

Smallcaps (Blue) fell harder than Largecaps (Red), but we are in a new EM bull market as shown by the above 2 yr chart.
BRF is leading EWZ again!
the reasons are many:
- Commodity boom/bust never returns to previous intensity, EWZ's PBR, VALE, and other large basic material stocks stays out of favor.
- Brazil Smallcaps are more in the consumer industries where there is more likelihood of continued growth, and less likely to be state controlled.
- Smallcaps in general usually lead after a larger fall as liquidity dried up and returns again in a new bull market.

via Broken Pieces
First of all Galway readers, I apologize for the long wait on "the chapter". I know you've been looking forward to it and wondering what all's going to happen and how the boys are going to wrap everything up. Just note, I've spent hours and hours on this particular chapter, considering the story is coming to an end. This is NOT the last chapter, but we are getting close. It's because of that I am taking my time and being very picky. I have a lot written, but I keep editing and rewriting certain scenes and going over and over it. I want to do this story justice.
Another reason for the long wait (other than my pickiness), is due to my car being vandalized and has left it undrivable for the time being. My deductible is too high for the insurance to cover, and the car has way too many problems to even consider fixing now. I'm looking for a used truck with LOW payments for the time being, and that's consumed a lot of my time.
It's disappointing to know that someone else can damage YOUR property and you end up paying for it. No, we don't know who did it. I wish we did! This has caused a lot of stress in our family as we're paying on a loan as it is. That loan went to a new water heater (after ours went kaput), fixing our washer (that stopped spinning), and a list of other things that just piled up. We've depleted our funds, and I'm sure many of you know what that's like. It is very stressful, and the whole family suffers from it. I can't take my girls swimming, to their friends' houses, and my older daughter was looking for a part-time job and can no longer do that until we find another dependable vehicle. This has sucked the fun right out of summer for my girls. I'm hoping things turn up and get better soon. But for now, just understand if things take me a bit longer than usual. I will get this story finished! Just RL is kicking us pretty hard right now, and I must see to that first.
Thank you for your time and understanding,

There are many ways to decorate your home with plants. Whether the houseplants are indoors or outdoors, the right planters are needed. If you do not have enough space, these DIY hanging planter ideas can help. Not only that, but they are also great for aesthetic purposes.
Of course, you need to be aware of the pot plant size and weight. Another thing to consider is how low these hanging planters should be. For starters, here are five (5) best diy hanging planterfor you:
Hanging Planter Made of Porcelain & Hemp Ropes.
This type of hanging planters can be found in crafts stores. It is easy to create them too. All you need is the right-sized porcelain pots and hemp ropes. Drill holes into the upper part of the pot to slip in the rope and secure the rope tightly around it.
Make sure the length of the hemp rope is enough to hang the planter. Choose the pot plant with the appropriate weight. This is to avoid the hanging planter falling out of its heavy weight. This is perfect for both indoors and outdoors. You can placement planter in the home office to more effect beautiful place
DIY Hanging Planter Ideas with Terrarium.
You can also find this in crafts stores or make it yourself. You can use an old, round pot made of glass. Wash it first before you tie a hemp rope around its handle. Before you hang it, put some plants and supplies into it.
This is just like the previous hanging planter. Make sure the amount of plants is the right weight. You do not want this planter to crash down. Another thing, this is one of the most beautiful, indoor DIY hanging planter ideas.
An Upcycled, Birdcage Planter
You do not have to own a bird to do this. Thrift stores are where you can find secondhand bird cages. They do not cost a fortune, so this project is budget-friendly. Some slight dents or cracks give the cage a rustic look, which is charming.
Once you get the birdcage, you can paint it first with a nice shade. You can also leave it just like that. Put some plants into the cage before you hang the cage with a hemp rope. (You can also use a string or twine).
This hanging planter looks better as part of outdoor decoration.
Hanging Planter Purse Garden.
Old and damaged purses do not have to go to waste. This is one of the green-friendly, DIY hanging planter ideas. Of course, the plants should stay in their pots. To drain excess moisture, it is easier to slip them out when needed.
What if the purse material is not waterproof? Line it with plastic for protection from getting soaked.
DIY Hanging Planter with Coconut Shell
What to do with their shells after a coconut party? Instead of throwing them out, here is an idea: make planters out of them. A coconut split into means a pair of planters. After decorating them with paint, put some plants and hang them.
You will never run out of DIY hanging planter ideas. All you have to do is find the right materials and get creative.

Lana Del Rey…
Stone-faced, death-warmed-up/"Born To Die" neo-torch singer-songwriter, LANA DEL REY plays sad-core, gothic pop-blues from a noir-pop vantage point of inherited wealth and model looks – something she has flouted to the envy of her peers and numerous doubters. A prolific artist by today's lackadaisical standards, the languorous Lana unveiled three albums in as many years; four if one counted her "a.k.a. Lizzy Grant" debut set of 2010. Compared to FLORENCE, BIRDY, FIONA APPLE and AIMEE MANN, she has alternative appeal, but probably for avid acolytes of the unmentionable Simon Cowell show.
Born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, June 21, 1985, New York City, but raised in Lake Placid, it was her uncle that convinced her to learn the trade, teaching her guitar while she explored her songwriting traits. Taking the moniker Lizzy Grant, although touting some material live in concert as May Jailer, her first break came when she signed a contract with 5 Points Records in 2006, on the strength of her taking the runners-up Jezebel Music Award in Williamsburg. Apprehensive and undecided for a time as she attended Fordham University, producer David Kahne saw potential in her tender vocal chords, finally digitally releasing Lizzy's debut EP in the autumn of 2008. Lead track, `Kill Kill', also opened the jazzy-folk set, LANA DEL REY a.k.a. LIZZY GRANT (2010) {*5}.
Her transition from stunning blonde chanteuse "torch-ing" `Yayo' and `Hundred Dollar Bill', into the auburn-haired persona of LANA DEL REY, was indeed remarkable in such a short space of time. Helped by her managers Ben Mawson and Ed Millett, she briefly relocated to London, England, while papers were filed to successfully revert the rights to her old contract. The fruits of their labour paid off in spades when, after a false start late in 2011 – through a YouTube PR campaign – `Video Games' became her first hit early the following year for Interscope/Polydor.
Quite rightly, quick off the mark to cash-in on its worldwide appeal, the pouting princess of pop raced to the top of the charts with her debut album proper, BORN TO DIE (2012) {*7}. Frigid femme fatale or just part of a puppet-pop industry manufacturing yet another musical maiden into their mould, the jury was out. They'd be out for some time. Groomed for stardom and happy now to receive the attention she'd craved for several years, the Greta Garbo of pop ran up a line of hits: `Born To Die', `Blue Jeans' and the shockingly-twee `National Anthem', hinting there was more to her chasm of cool. A year and a half on, the searching and sensual `Summertime Madness' raced into the transatlantic Top 5, following on from a non-LP cut, `Young And Beautiful'.
A mini-set with much the same exotic background sleeve as portrayed on her platinum debut, PARADISE (2012) {*6}, it possessed a cinematic, vamp-ish appeal, more or less helped by her minor hit cover of `Blue Velvet'. Lyrically astute to her listener's wants and needs ("Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn's my mother, Jesus is my bestest friend" on `Body Electric' – the perfect example), DEL REY oozed class without stripping down to her undergarments; the attendant `Ride' and the yearning `Gods & Monsters' were also hits on either side of the Atlantic.
Dividing critics like marmite dished out at a suburbanite Tupperware party, album two ULTRAVIOLENCE (2014) {*7} at least swayed the doubters that alt-rock, not pop, was her master. Produced by Dan Auerbach (of The BLACK KEYS), her riveting melancholy, set against a backdrop of lush orchestral manoeuvres in a darkened room, was absorbing on the likes of the wrist-slashing `Cruel World', `Shades Of Cool' (BILLIE HOLIDAY, anyone?) and the No.1 set's biggest hit, `West Coast'. Lashed to a proverbial post by her pop-picking critics, her co-penned songs shone out from an attic light on the 13th floor of a multi-million-dollar high-rise, but in her painstaking aplomb, she added character and colour – however shady – that no other rival could match.
The thought that to laugh or smile in song would ruin her career probably haunted the poor lass to tears, so in 2015's near-chart-topping HONEYMOON {*7}, the pouting plaything persevered. Locked in a her cinematic time-warp or island of lost souls like such lovelorn actress/diva with an axe to grind, the lovely Lana played it for the cameras on `High By The Beach', `Music To Watch Boys By' (or "music to watch paint dry"), `Freak', the title track and a poignant re-tread of the NINA SIMONE classic `Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'. Watching her videos on YouTube, rather than earworm her CDs, reflects better on an artist still yet to win over a multitude of fans – and when that happens… wow!
That austere ice-cool exterior was as serene and seductive as ever on her No.1 double-set, LUST FOR LIFE (2017) {*8}. Not so much title progenitor IGGY POP (or for that matter painter man Van Gogh) – more HOPE SANDOVAL minus the twang – sadcore singer LANA DEL REY hooked into her listener's Sunday morning vibe. Haunting highlights included her collaborations with The WEEKND (on the title piece), ASAP ROCKY and Playboi Carti (on `Summer Bummer'), a rejuvenated STEVIE NICKS (on `Beautiful People Beautiful Problems') and SEAN ONO LENNON (on `Tomorrow Never Came'). Possibly a tad ambitious and long, cathartic Lana still managed to make a reflective rainy day turn sunny on such beauties as `13 Beaches', `Groupie Love' and opener, `Love'.
Continuing her cathartic cuisine of sadness and lost love(s), the pictorial NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL! (2019) {*8} album – promoted as "NFR!" for younger listeners – matched previous Top 3 sales (UK No.1). The record was another in her melancholy trip inside the minds and cribs of the buoyant American dream sailing into the sunset like some character in a F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, brought to life by the majesty of Lana's thought-provoking lyrical abandon. Fans of the ill-fated SUBLIME should be warned of her ripped rendition of `Doin' Time', a track now befitting our thin Lizzy's moody template. This album, her sixth in total, was rightly regarded a classic of her generation, and oozing with a certain je ne sais quoi via `Mariners Apartment Complex', `The Greatest', the Laurel Canyon laid-back `Bartender' and the textural prog-length `Venice Bitch' (featuring synth flurries to die for), who could argue against this astute assumption; only time would tell. What it didn't feature was her joint "Charlie's Angels" film hit effort, `Don't Call Me Angel' that pitted her next to "pop" stars of the day, ARIANE GRANDE and MILEY CYRUS.

Piano Students Take Field Trip
Each student in piano teacher Brenda Whitlow's class went on a field trip to showcase Christmas music they learned in class. The classes were split into trips on different days. Some groups went to retirement homes, and other groups went to local middle schools to perform.
Whitlow's B1 and B2 classes went to a retirement home on Tuesday, December 11.
"It felt good to give a sort of gift to the people at the home," junior Cindy Rodriguez Drummond said. "It was nice to see them all happy and enjoying the music."
The students played their Christmas music in primarily ensembles and duets. Junior Kaitlyn Dacpano, played a part in the song "March from The Nutcracker," and she played a duet of "Silent Night."
"It was nice to be able to interact with the people at the retirement home because they may not have people or families visit them," Dacpano said.
Social Studies teacher Paul Ranta's mom visited the retirement home to see the piano students perform. Ranta told her to specifically look for one of his AP European History students – junior Hazel Velasquez Gomez.
"It was really encouraging to see how staff members used this field trip to extend their support and show their patriot pride even into the small piano magnet program," Velasquez Gomez said.
After they played, the students went to the Galleria mall. They had the remainder of the field trip to wander the mall with their friends.
"After spending some time playing at the retirement home," senior Oscar Silva said, "it was pretty fun to go to the Galleria and to walk around and eat with my friends. I went ice skating, and although it was difficult, what made it better was ice skating with my girlfriend."

DEFINITION of Blockchain ETF
Similar to any standard sector- or theme-based stock investments through exchange-traded funds (ETF), blockchain ETFs work by exclusively investing in a basket of blockchain-based companies that have business operations in blockchain technology or those which invest or profit from it.
BREAKING DOWN Blockchain ETF
Blockchain ETFs offer dual benefits - pooled investments in baskets of stocks like that of a mutual fund, and real-time trading with tick-by-tick price changes like that of a stock.
While bitcoin-based ETFs have been rejected by regulators owing to questions of control, those based on the underlying blockchain technology are seeing the light of the day as the use of blockchain technology spans far and wide beyond the monetary system. (See also: SEC Denies Winklevoss Twins' Bid to Launch Bitcoin ETF.)
Blockchain ETFs can be actively managed or passively managed, will cover companies with international exposure, and will track the performance of blockchain-based indexes specially designed to serve as benchmarks for the ETFs.
Two popular blockchain ETFs include the Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy (BLCN) ETF and the Amplify Transformational Data Sharing (BLOK) ETF.
Such blockchain ETFs come with the inherent risk of betting money on technology-based startups as the blockchain concept is still evolving, and regularly hitting regulatory roadblocks across the globe.

What do most people who fail in their network marketing businesses have in common?
I have noticed one common theme that I want to share with you today.
When I was in my 20s, and I started in my direct sales journey I looked at this Henry Ford quote every single day for 6 years between the ages of 20 and 26…
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
Every office in the company had a stack of weekly schedules for me and other reps to fill out to plan their week, and that quote was at the top of the schedule. I have found this to be so, so true.
When I started in direct sales, I was just learning the art of time management. After looking at this every single day, it is different for me at 39 and feels like it should be common knowledge to block out your calendar.
Everyone says, "I need to get better at managing my time," but what does that really mean? Well, today I want to go through some simple steps on how to tell your time that you are the boss of this business.
Intention is really, really powerful. Even if it is something like, "Tonight, we are having steak for dinner!" and I write it down, I am much more likely to overcome any obstacles so that steak is on the table at dinner.
We set up intention in so many different ways in our lives. The example of birthday parties came up in one of the groups I am coaching, and I was talking to them about the intention that goes into it. When someone in our family is invited to a birthday party, we get the invitation, we put it up on the refrigerator, we block out the time in our calendars, and everyone remembers we have an event to attend. The question I was asking was, "Do we give that amount of respect to our business the same as we would a birthday party of our kid's classmate that we may not even want to go to?"
When was the last time we took our schedule and blocked out time to make phone calls, watch training videos, or plan business activities, etc, and stuck that schedule on the fridge so the whole family sees and knows this is when this time is sacred?
This is the essence of planning and setting ourselves up for success.
We are all going to make mistakes, but if we do a couple of things right, eventually we will be successful.
Here are some things that we can do to be successful:
- Follow Henry Ford's quote and make a plan.
The plan doesn't have to be perfect. Each week, or every two weeks, we need to reflect – What is working well, what is not working well, and what adjustments do we need to make. This increases our skill in time management, rather than just accepting our lot in life that we are either good or bad planners.
- Tell Time who the boss is
Making a plan can decrease overwhelm – regardless of whether you are new in your network marketing business, or if you are making tons of money. Not knowing what to focus on or what to do is a result of all of the ideas and things floating around in your head… this creates overwhelm. Getting it down on paper and into your planner frees up your mind and helps you to prioritize.
I recommend a planner with a weekly view and daily to-do list with a time breakdown. Here is how to fill out your planner:
- Grab your pencil – cross off all the time for your personal commitments like taking your kids to school. Cross off all the things you normally do or already have planned for the week – birthday party, Bible study, etc.
- Write in all the events you have scheduled – appointments, coaching calls, team meetings, etc.
- Set a goal for how many appointments you want to have. This step is REALLY, REALLY important, and it is often the one that people miss. Let's say you have an appointment goal of 5 new appointments, circle the times in your planner for when you want to set those appointments. Circling those times tells your mind "I need to fill those times in."
- Write down when you are going to do the outreach to fill those appointments. This will get your mind into action because you have already committed to it in writing that you are going to do it.
In Corporate America, the boss tells you what to do. In entrepreneurship like network marketing, YOU are the boss. You need to tell yourself what to do with your time, and this will keep you from falling into overwhelm. And I want you to give your business the same respect you give your kids' sports, birthday parties, your spouse's travel schedule. Write it down in your planner and put it in a place where everyone in your family can see it.
