Anne-MarieDidn’t Janet D see her daughters pictures on the web or was it a page she made herself some way into the adoption process. To be honest, there are very few people who will be hitting the page unless they are looking to adopt. Technology has moved along, and although people like their privacy... I feel that the only way to help half the time is to go that way. Your reaching a wider audience that way, and I cannot see the harm in it. There must be hundreds of orphanages in Croatia. Who would know which it was and where these girls were anyway?
Other than that, it is best left with professional adoption agencies I guess and Don should find those and make contact and give them this URL for the prospective parents or a pile of information printed off for them to look over when they wish to know what CAH is.
I don’t think a web site is needed...just a page with a picture and a link to information about how whom to contact if you wish to adopt ad a link to this and several other sites for prospective parents to visit. A simple picture of the girls, a few sentences about them and a link to CAH information. To be honest, if it were diabetes it would probably be easier to place them, but CAH? None of us knew of the existence of the condition before our kids were diagnosed with this it is so rare. I can see that being something that prospective parents need to be educated about in the first discussion about the girls before they abandon the idea that the two girls could be just like normal kids with good care.
Also most people adopting generally want to adopt children who are 1-2 years old or newborn. placing kids that are older has always been considerably more difficult.
