We have our profile up on Adoption.com's Parent Profiles and have included a newsletter in our Christmas card to all of our friends, work colleagues, and relatives, asking them to spread the word about us. We are now doing selected mailings to contacts at hospitals, etc. that our home study agency gave us and some we came up with. Next (soon) we are going to do some newpaper advertising (my sister got her contacts for both her kids' birthmothers through newspapers) and list ourselves with ABC and some of their links. We have had some nibbles through our parent profile and in answer to an inquiry I responded to on ABC's posting board, which is heartening, but not the right match for us yet. We want to do this on our own without going through an agency or facilitator, but sometimes it seems like so much wheel-spinning I do wonder if any of it will work. We plan to give it six more months (we have been at this for over a year), and I hope we will be successful.
