Okay, so I was logging on to Facebook and in the sides you know how it has ads and stuff? Well, they had like two adoption ones. It was Hi I'm ___ and ___, been married for __ years and are looking for a child to adopt. That is so gross. I mean, I've heard of those ads but I'd never seen them until today. Is that even legal? I mean, what is this teaching the public? It's like saying people have no worth and we can just post up an ad like we do for a washing machine, people aren't products. You can't just buy them or anything. How is this even legal? Skadoctor1: Your answer tells me that you have little knowledge on the subject of adoption. Whats absurd is people thinking that just because they conceived the child it is 'their property' — Um, I hate to burst your bubble, but it's their child. Its not illegal to post an ad saying you would often adopt— What do you think about Craigslist ads, it's the same thing. It makes children seem like items. That's not right. If you had ANY clue how difficult it is to adopt a child in the US thats caucasion— Well, Caucasian is spelled with an a, and there is something called US Foster Care, there are TONS of children. Okay? And it's free. Alen: When you post ads you are asking for a baby, there are plenty of people who want a baby. When you post ads you don't get foster children. It's the foster kids that need to get adopted. Monkeykitty: I can't believe it's within the rules, there needs to be stricter regulations, I just can't believe this. Do you know what I found? Baby beggars are everywhere. They also often target places where young people hang out, like Facebook, Myspace, BEBO, etc. No different than the creepy dude driving around in a white van handing out candy, or asking kids to help him "find his puppy". Another thing is your computer "cookies". It doesn't matter WHAT the subject matter is, if you mention it, or search for a certain subject, ads will pop up. I recently had a status report on facebook about needing a pool boy, and within a few minutes, all the ads on the side of my screen were "MILFS looking for hot college students" or dating sites, lol. Not that I have anything against hot college students, but ee
