Visit http://members.cox.net/patrickm/enter.html to view the coming year’s calendar as well as a selection of greeting cards.
The calendar and cards capture in words and images some of the unique ideas, thoughts, and feelings involved in adoption which are so often difficult to express, and they feature some excellent photography, as well as a caption for each photo for each month. The calendar is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 folded, 8 1/2 x 11 hanging and is priced at $14 each.
They make great gifts for yourself or anyone you know involved in adoption, whether adoptee, birthparent, adoptive parent, relative, friend, or adoption-related professional.
They also make statements that may need to be heard by members of your community, such as local social service organizations, medical professionals and legislators.
Many organizations have used the cards and calendars as fundraisers at meetings, events, and conferences. If you have a support group organization you may want to consider this as well.
These cards are something that you will never find in Hallmark. They aren’t just for the Holiday Season. There are cards available for other special days of the years such as birthday’s, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, just because, thank you, and reunion. The cards are $3 or a set of 10 cards for $20.
A portion of proceeds from card and calendar sales is donated to adoption education and reform organizations. Remaining proceeds support the writing of Patrick McMahons book, a memoir from the male point of view of search, reunion, and post-reunion. The book is in its final re-write and he is currently seeking representation. The website reference above also contains a link where viewers can read excerpts from his book in progress about his journey as an adoptee reuniting with his natural family.
All design, photography, and text is created by Patrick McMahon.
