Hi, I have a little dilema, need some advice.
I have about 5 people who have offered to help with adopting a child. We have been corresponding fine up until I send them the children's info.
Then, I don't get any replies to the emails I send. So I don't know if these kids are adopted or not. They were supposed to be, but since I am not getting a reply back, I wonder if that means they don't want to adopt anymore???
So, do I try to find more Green Santa's and match them up with someone else?
Thanks in advance for your imput.
Julie

YEP. I would try and find some more Green Santa's.
Best case scenario is they have two green santa's for Christmas.
Worse case if you don't go for another green santa is they have none.

If they haven't responded to multiple emails over several days I would try one last email asking if you should reassign their family to someone else. If you have no answer to that, then I would look for other Green Santas. (Better to have them receive double the gifts than nothing at all.)

if all else fails, post directly to them on here and ask 'em...flat out...
i suppose if you had just one child i could step up...but no more than one...

Julie, I ran a huge Christmas Adoption program for many, many years at a major medical center. This was ALWAYS a problem.
Definitely find others, they will probably be left out in the cold otherwise.
If anyone is willing to donate some money to help with shipping, I can take more kids. I just can't cover all the shipping, each box can easily be $30 or more.
