Hi there- I have a private web site set up and it is also password protected. I do post pictures of all my kids there. When I was on a a public baby birth board- there was a troll that used pictures of one or two of the children whose pictrues had been posted on a very bad site.

My dh is a police officer and he really dissuades me from doing any chat public at all- specifically about our kids, where we live etc.. He has heard one two many crazy stories.

After the troll incident on the baby birth board- about 32 of the ladies that had formed friendships moved off and started a private site that is also password protected. I think that the net is a great place to share info and meet many people. A few of the ladies on my baby birth board are very close friends now. It has been three years since we met on the net and now we have shared birthdays, anniversaries and vacations with some of these women and their families. It is sad that we have to be so protective- as I truly can see how great sharing and being open can be. However- there are some creepy, up to no good people out there- so I have to be careful. I have learned so much and loved reading the blogs of other adoptive parents. I wish I could share as well- but because I post my kids and info about them- I have to take their safety into account.

GL and you will make the right choice for you and your family!
