OMG: Adoption and Craigslist!

Sally J

A mother found her baby listed for adoption on craigslist!!  Somebody put a picture of her son and advertised him as available for adoption!  What is wrong with people??  Makes me want to take pictures out of my siggy since the photo came from her family blog.

(I know it's fox news...it came up on a news search for adoption.)

WOW! My friend once found his car for sale on e-Bay, but this really takes the cake!

I can't believe that Craigslist let people put adoptions up. Do people think that this is the way to go to adopt a child and it is legal?

Well, private adoptions are legal in some states.  In fact, there are a few posters here who have done them.  Granted, in none of these cases was the child already born prior to the match....

I saw this story. People have some real nerve. I have my blog, FB, MS, all of those private for that reason. I don't trust anyone!

Crazy scary stuff.  My MIL sent this article to me yesterday. I just started a blog, and it does have pictures of DS on it.  I guess I will make it private.  FB is already private for me.

BTW, if anyone wants to read my blog, please PM me with your email address. I will invite you once I figure out how to do the private thing.
