Thanks so much, Diane, for the input. We don't have an 800 number and will not be getting one, so I won't have the option of placing that in the ad. I don't really want phone calls until the birth mother has checked out our profile and decided we have enough in common to be a likely match. But we do live in a rather large city, Knoxville, Tennessee, and the University of Tennessee is right here in town. (Both of us are alumni) And just smack me up side the head for being so dumb, I never even thought of placing an ad in the University's paper, The Daily Beacon! This is the best possible place for me to place this ad for us to attract a birth mother with a background similar to us so she would fit into our family better. Ideas of this sort are why it is smart to ask for opinions before trotting off to do something on your own!
As for our address, I built a page on the free angelfire system and then bought a domain name that forwards to it that is pretty easy to remember.. our names...

Thanks again for the fantastic idea!
