We are looking for a birthmother on our own, and wanted to know if there was anything else we could do. We have business cards, a birthmother letter, an 800 number, a lawyer and are in the process of getting our homestudy done. We have sent out business cards to everyone we know. We are also sending out a birthmother letter and business cards to every hospital, doctor's office and counseling service we can find in our state. We have a lot more to do in our state, then I guess we'll go outside of our state. As soon as our homestudy is completed, we'll use ParentProfiles.com. But we can't use them until it's done.

We did try advertising in New Hampshire (the closest state to ours that allows it), but it gets to be expensive, and we're not sure it works, so it's a gamble. We did get one call, but it was a disaster, she pretty much just cried, then hung up. Is there a specific place that works in terms of advertising? Is any state better than others (other than laws, which we already know about)? Thanks for any advice.
