Online tools like Google and Facebook have revolutionized the way we look for information and connect with one another. Your teen (or even tween) may be searching for birth relatives online. She may also be approached online by a birth relative ... or someone posing as one.

Traveling, family gatherings, holiday foods and music are all special parts of celebrating the holidays.
