Hey! Yeah, I thought about that, too. The only thing that gives me pause is that I would prefer for potential birth mothers to feel as though they are completely free to change their minds at any time, even if they have been matched. So even at that point I would be concerned if a potential first mother is constantly being told what a wonderful gift she is giving. Adoption involves a great loss and it wouldn't be fair not to put that across to a PFM before she places her child.

But I agree, mine wasn't quite right either. Just wasn't sure where else to draw the line, so I drew it somewhere.
