Just a reminder....

Every so often, it's necessary to post this reminder to assure that everyone is aware of our rules. We appreciate everyone allowing this site and forum to be a supportive and safe one for all.:) Below is a reminder of the Terms of Service that applies to this forum 3. Community Websites are NOT places for adoptive parents or adoption professionals to solicit birthparents. So many people visit the Community Websites that birthmothers get "pounced on" from dozens of different people if this rule is not strictly observed. Adoption Media is committed to making the Community Websites places where birthparents feel safe. It is not appropriate for adoption professionals or hopeful parents to post "I can help" messages, or Internet addresses for birthmothers to visit, or to send this type of e-mail to birthmothers.

4. Conversely, it is not appropriate for birthparents to use the Community Websites to solicit adoptive parents. Are you pregnant and considering adoption? For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not select adoptive parents or an adoption professional from the Community Websites. We have no way of know which parents on the message boards or other community services are qualified to adopt, and which professionals are reputable. Visit [url]www.ParentProfiles.com[/url] to find information on hundreds of hopeful adoptive parents who have each met the pre-adoption requirements in their state. Visit [url]www.AdoptionDirectory.com[/url] to find an adoption attorney, agency or other adoption professional. Please report any PM's received that are in violation of our rules regarding solicitation to Crick, Taraymayrn, or Tigger27. Members who do violate this rule are banned without explanation and our TOS serves as the only advanced warning. Thank You!!!! Crick A.Com Moderator
