Public Service Announcement

I'm an avid reader of blogs of other PAPs (prospective adoptive parents) and there's one thing that makes me a bit nervous. Please, for those of you adopting from any country, please be careful with posting vital information. I'm seeing more and more blogs with pictures of their referrals with the child(ren)'s names, place of orphanage/baby house and other information. Until your child is safe in your arms at home, take caution. Anyone could be reading your blog.

Also, please be careful about posting the name of the school, church and/or daycare center your child(ren) will be attending. Your child(ren) will not be fluent in English the first few months and has not had the 'don't talk to strangers' training. Again, anyone could be reading your blog.
