On one hand, like TG I wonder if they hand this out to everyone (like the barista at Starbucks, the receptionist at the doctors office, the mailman, whatever) hoping someone knows somebody who would like to adopt. To me, networking period is creepy. It's one thing to place an ad in appropriate places, but fliers and cards, I don't know, I feel like that's bordering on desperate (no offense, its just my opinion) I can't explain it. It just reminds me of college, people would pass out fliers for keg parties or garage sales. This is a lot more personal.

I think if it WAS pointed at this specific woman, it's just disgusting. I don't blame her for being p/o, first they make an assumption about her that she can't care for her child, second, they decide they want to be the ones who will "help" her? They don't KNOW her! A friend of mine's sister looks about 10 years younger than she is, and when she was pregnant, she couldn't wear her rings either. People made comments to her about being an unwed teen mom. She was 26 and married. Even still, it irks the you know what out of me when people can't just leave well enough alone. Who are they to judge?

Something about assuming comes to mind....
