I think if you had looked and had seen that she was new to the forum you could have stated the rules in a much more polite fashion. I hate that someone will now not have the support that can come from this forum because their first experience they were blasted. I think if you read her post the only reason she was posting that information was so that she wouldn't get a bunch of e-mails from adoptive parents and encouraging them to go through proper channels.

People please be kind and considerate of other's feelings when posting because for all of us involved in adoption, no matter the situation, have our feelings so raw and sensitive that we need to take extra care. I'm not saying that you can't have your own opinion but be careful that in the interest of stating your own opinion that you don't trample over someone else's feelings.

I'll probably be blasted for this post but I can take it in this instance.

Good luck to all in whatever way you are touched by adoption.
