Hi...I did extensive work in "adverstising" ourselves as a waiting couple for almost 20 months with our agency...(we eventually hired an adoption attorney and had a baby in our arms within two months...)
But anyway...I really "thought out of the box" when it came to advertising ourselves...
Remember : the internet is your friend. I emailed EVERY pastor on EVERY church website in our state practically. I went on every college / University in the state and emailed the group leaders in all of the college clubs. I emailed social workers at every area hospital, as well as ob-gynes. I went on every high school website and emailed our profile to every guidance counselor. It was a TON of work.
I did get a few responses and I'd like to tell you that our son came from doing all that work - but he did not. However, I felt good about it because it gave me SOME control in the situation of waiting. I felt like I was doing something to find our baby out there.
I hope this gives you some ideas.
Best of luck!
And remember the bottom line really is: what is meant to be - will be.
