I posted the other thread but I'll expand on my thoughts over here. I really don't think I'm more put off because I'm a bmom. I'm upset b/c I'm a woman and just b/c I am pg (which I'm not) why would you assume anything??? Of course this is assuming she was targeted which I pray isn't the case (but secretly, I bet it was). Women who are proud to be pregnant tend to show a lot more than women who are hiding/not so happy to be pregnant in my small experience...
As far as networking in general, I think it's fine to network among family and friends. As an emom I might find it reassuring if a friend came up to my and said "hey, I know this really great couple who want to adopt"... I’m on the fence about co-workers who are not my friends and boy... They better know I was placing prior to saying anything!
Networking to total strangers is completely out of bounds tho IMO. If you are a realtor, insurance salesman, investment broker, car salesman etc... Fine, leave your card on the table. But an adoption attorney or an e-aparent NO WAY. There has to be a line somewhere and I think this is it... Next we'll see flyers posted on college campuses or left on cars parked outside of social services office's.
Unacceptable imo...
On a lighter note...

I have one question…were they decent tippers?

Hopefully they didn't tip her... Wouldn't that be buying her baby?
