Tell API what you think - if your heart were on your sleeve...

It will soon be easier than ever to show your support and advocate for attachment parenting. API is currently exploring the possibilities for a 2012 retail line and wants to know what you think.

Please help API make this retail campaign a success by spending 3-5 minutes to complete this survey. We would love your input!

We also invite you to share any retail, graphic design, underwriting, or other experience or talents you are willing to contribute in support of this initiative and API's sustainability.

API is pleased to be the recipient of Social Venture Consulting grant and working with University of Maryland business students on this project.

Thank you for your assistance.
