Soon after my son was born, his bmom posted pics of him on her Facebook page (we are facebook friends). At first I felt a little weird. I didn't know how to react. But anyone with access to the page has to be accepted as a friend, so I decided to give it some time before I talked about it. She continued to post pictures and I soon stopped worrying about it. There was no private info about him or even his name (she used her nickname for him). Nobody was going to track him down based on a photograph. Now I feel a tiny bit disappointed when she doesn't update his pictures (she does it far less frequently now). One thing i have learned from OA (as an aparent) is that just as boundaries sometimes have to be set, sometimes they need to be stretched as well. If something makes me uncomfortable I really try to examine why before I say no to a request. Upon examination, I often realize that a fear is unfounded.
These of course are MY feelings. Your daughter's mom may feel differently. I would talk to her and just assure her that your child's safety and privacy are imprtnat to you as well.
