1. what is wrong with that? |
|
The article is about how the agency screwed up, not about the billboard.
Am I missing something here?

2. Florida billboards have a history. A commercial history, mostly. |
|
It's just not something you would associate with the adoption of human beings.

4. Adoption agencies advertise. |

Speaking as an adoptive parent, I have no problem with the practice.

5. I don't question they advertise. |

It's just that on a billboard, well, it's surreal to me.

The sad part of the story is that I hear adoptions from Guatemala has become corrupt and abused to the point where people should avoid Guatemala all together. I believe adoptions have been suspended for a year or more.

6. Do you have a link to the Guatemala situation? |
|
I think it's a big what, advertising on cheap billboard. Well, that should say it all, right there. Adoption services should have a professionalism about them that transcends drive-by advertisement.

enough to find better sources to advertise, than a billboard. That's my opinion. Billboards suggest a more commercial enterprise, and I would hope that human babies are not considered a commercial enterprise.
