What would you do?

If you found out a complete stranger took a picture of your adopted child's announcement and posted it on Facebook?

Long story but a lady my mom works with saw our LO's announcement on one of her friend's page and recognized his picture.

At this point I assume they saw our LO's announcement at our home study agencies office and took a picture of it. I can also assume they partly did this because our son's name is this person's first and last name. But I am baffled why they thought this is okay?

I am thinking of contacting our home study agency and letting them know (without telling them who did this) and just ask them to notify people who visit the office not to take pictures of announcements and/or adoption profiles they are sharing as references. Would that be out of line?

    Is the announcement posted in a public place like on a bulletin board?  My response would depend on how the person saw your announcement at the agency.

    Weird...

    If I am reading this correctly, you have no reason to think this person is related to your adoption story? 

    If they are random person that shares the name... I'd quietly message them and be "cool" about the request to have them remove it.

    And if they refuse to, I'd contact facebook and ask them to remove it.
