Adopters Wanted
The Adopt-A-Poet Foundation is actively seeking individuals who are open-minded, patient, tender of heart and willing to spare just a few precious minutes out of each day performing random acts of kindness.
To become an Adopter follow this link www.freewebs.com/adopt_a_poet/

Click on the "Contact Us" link and any one of the Managers on the list will be willing to set you up. Simply click on their name. You will be directed to their Author's page where you can send them an IM requesting to become an Adopter.

There is a list, constantly being updated of Adopters as well as Adoptees. Once you have signed up, you will be placed on the list and eligible to adopt a poet. Please be patient if you don't see your name immediately.

If you don’t want to be an Adopter, but would like to be placed on the Adoptee list, we can help you there as well.

Specifics
Age, race, religious and political affiliation, height, weight, eye color, hair color and marital status are unimportant. If you are breathing and can read this… WE NEED YOU!!

Responsibilities
As an Adopter you should spend some time with your adopted poet, helping them to grow in the world of poetry. You do this by correcting errors, increasing their vocabulary, guiding and encouraging them in learning new styles, etc. You should add your poet to your favorites list so you can always see their new poetry. When you read a poem, you should always leave a constructive critique.

This program allows younger and/or less experienced poets to learn from those with more experience and/or knowledge in the world of poetry. It gives poets a chance for questions to be answered on a one on one basis. It is also a chance for all poets to grow and even gain a new friend or two.

Once you’ve been added to the list please feel free to go to the Adoptee section and glance through the list of poets seeking an Adopter. If you click on their name, it will direct you to their page where you can look over their work and determine whether or not you might be compatible. Please keep in mind that this program is designed for learning, not matchmaking. If you see a poet you are interested in, contact a manager and they will take it from there. It’s easy, it’s painless and it’s free!  

Benefits
You will reap rewards beyond measure if you treat this seriously. Your adopted poet will help you to grow every bit as much as you help him/her.

    Adopt me because I am cute, not fluffy though,I know I would be better if I was fluffy, if only it were true, but I am extremely cute, more likely cuter than you, cuter than the mail man and cuter than your lunch, well anything is cuter than that, except brussel sprouts for brunch! But I am the cutest and I think you'll agree, that I will be always faithful, if anybody would adopt me!

    yay for Adopt a Poet

    I would love to be an adopter. Of one poet. I had a big AP family under my old account and it just didn't work out. One poet is good enough for me, that way I can spend a lot of time with them, going through their work and giving constructive criticism and the like. I feel my commenting skills have improved drastically and I'm not afraid to tell someone - albeit gently - if I think their poetry needs "adjusting". Well, enough blathering on....

    [new IM] Jayda1313: okay sweetie go to this link let them know that you have talked with me and submit your application then we will try to connect you with those poets that can benefit from your style of writing or vise versa

    I have already established bonds with a few poets. I would just like to make it more official (James R) as a brother is one of these poets. Jayda has been most helpful and I appreciate everyones help

    Hey, I'm looking to adopt General 1948. He's been contacting me for a while about being adopted, and asked for me specifically. Who is it that I contact to make it offical?
