For those planning to private/independently adopt without use of an agency or attorney (for the matching process) and are advertising/creating fliers and the such ... colleges and universities might be a good place (though I don't know what the rules/laws are about advertising).
On my campus, I have been approached twice about adoption from students who know that we are planning to adopt who have friends, or friends of friends, who are thinking about placing a baby for adoption.
In both cases I have provided them information for where they or their 'friends' can go for support as they consider their options, as I did not want to personally get involved.
Today I was approached again, and I realized that if my husband and I were going the independent route (though the university is not a good place for me personally to find a match) we have been presented with several independent possibilities.
So I don't know what your options, rules, or laws on this topic but colleges/universities might be a good place to network?
