new here and a question

Hello, I've actually been here since the beginning, but hardly ever posted because, honestly, I was too shy.  But this board seems to have really mellowed out and I like it a lot!

Quick intro.. then a question:

I live in MA and I had Kylie Grace on 3/13 right on her due date and she's doing great!  I have been producing so much milk that my freezer is full, so I joined Milkshare.  Ever heard of it?  Well, someone claimed my milk within minutes of me posting.  It's a mom who adopted and relies on donated milk for her baby.  I set up a meeting time and place and now I'm little nervous that it could be a crazy person wanting to steal my baby or kill me in the mall parking lot :O  She gave me her cell phone number and email.  I think I'll probably not go alone.  Does it sound like a bad idea?  My husband said, "Oh just throw it away," but I really hate to do that if I can help someone else!  Thoughts please?  Thanks :)

    I'm sure everything is fine but it's always smart to meet in a public place and/or bring a friend. Before I had my son, I'd probably have had no issues going alone but I find myself being a lot more cautious for his sake now. I guess I'm officially a mom!

    I would definitely NOT go alone...and even go so far as to not take your baby with you if you are able to. Just be very careful!

    awesome!  i donated with milkshare before.  i didn't post my milk, i contacted someone who had posted a need- so a little bit different than your situation. yes there are crazies out there but just use your common sense.  if you are meeting in a public place you should be safe, bring a friend or your husband along. and make sure they have a baby with them (so you know it's not some crazy fetish person or someone using the milk in a non-traditional way). you may also wish to draft up some sort of "hold harmless agreement", just in case something bad were to happen to her baby and she wanted to blame the breast milk, it would remove you from any liability.

    That's a really good idea!  I hadn't even thought of that.  Thanks for your input, everyone!

    I would meet in a public place with your husband there, don't go to their house alone.  If you meet this person and they look creepy then back out, if she shows up with her baby in hand then I would assume she's legit...whatever you do, don't dump it!

    What a great gift!  I will add to meet up during daylight if possible.

    I don't post here too often anymore, but welcome!  Glad you have started to post :)
