I finally updated photos for September, October and November :) You can view them in the photo section of the website. Also, don't forget you can move your mouse over the picture to view the comments I wrote about the photo.
Incase any of you would like to add our site feed to your links list, I posted in October what link to use http://mandamike.com/blog/2008/10/last-updated-on-blog-lists.html along with some instructions. Hope that helps!
One more tidbit of news, LDSFS is updating their online adoptive couples website. You can check out the beta version at www.beta.itsaboutlove.org and login as a guest. Mike & I are up on the beta site so feel free to let us know what you think. This new site will be a lot more searchable for birthparents and I think is a good move for LDSFS.

Fun pictures Amanda!!
Okay - this got long. Hope my comments help!
On the beta site:
I LOVE that the profiles can be printed and shared. And it looks like when a BM is logged in she can save profiles she likes. I know our BM lost our names and they had to search for us. The letters do seem a little overwhelming & long on the first page. But I think that info in necessary! I think the options to search using the specific criteria will work better when all of the profiles are up on the site. I am sure that is why you are categorized under "longest waiting." It looks like there are only 41 profiles on there now.
I like the "sort" option and that it gives a little blurb on the info that you were curious about. I know someone mentioned that you couldn't see the age of the adoptive couples but it is included here in the sort. It looks like it sorts by the husband's age. I think it would be nice if the current children search included boy/girl and ages.
Can you add links to blogs & websites at all? I didn't notice any but I think that makes it very convenient for birth parents to find out more about you.
I wonder if there can be specifications on the quality of the pictures (at least the picture with the letter) - some are fuzzy. I do love that you can add tons of pictures though and have a caption describing them!
I do like the getting to know us page, too. It looks like you can just not answer and the question won't show up.
I also like that the searches look very uniform and nothing really stands out or gets in the way of looking at other profiles.
I think they are off to a great start!
