I recently started networking/advertising for a private adoption. I'd like to get ideas on where else we can post/advertise. Any suggestions?

I don't think this violates the don't share agency info since I'm not asking for agency/attorney info. I'm asking for generic info or websites.

If this is a no-no, please pm me the info.

Once I get a sense if this is okay here, I will post what I have done so far. Or, if you would like me to pm you, pm me.

Thanks

You will need to PM the member any suggestions. All fee based adoption services must be discussed via PM.

This does include networking sites

Thanks!

Is it okay to list onsite the free things, such as free internet sites, who I've bulk emailed, and bulk snail mail mailings?

Whirled - even the free sites that post say available situations or matching etc. would be against our rules because we do not promote matching on our site. So to link to those would be connected to us and we do not have the time or resources to research the validity of these sites. (there are a lot of scam sites involved)
Plus, even the free sites will then have links to the agencies or posted right there in the original link and no agency is free as we all know.

While I understand it can be helpful, we run into too many "what if" situations that are created from this type of discussion and more often than not, it leads to people posting fee based stuff which we have to then research, track, moderate etc. So many legalities pop up as well, so we have to put the rule out there for ALL of it to be done via PM.

That all makes sense. I've had a busy morning with pms, so that is working well for us.

I too would love to get the free web-sites if anyone has some they could PM me. Thanks.
