We will work with a parent without them losing their rights, and we can help them find services within the community. We also can help them plan an adoption if they decide it is in the best interest of their child. So, why would someone choose craigslist? This is the question we have been dealing with for years. Why will someone choose an unsafe plan for their child when we can provide a safe plan where the parent is in complete control? What I am looking for is an answer from the general public which may help us see where we can better serve this population. |
That is a wonderful agency that you work for
I have never heard of anything like that at all in my area.
Do you have an outreach staff that goes on the streets or into homeless shelters to pass out information or to talk to women? I know that with the economy being down right now, a lot of places are losing funding for a lot of their important programs that outreach the community. Does someone put ads on sites like Craigslist in the "personals" areas on there that prostitutes fluent?
Drug addicts are usually rather paranoid, and my have a hard time trusting an agency with their children, even though it is so much smarter and safer than just leaving their kids in a crack house.
