My Baby for Adoption?

Yesterday husband told me that a woman found out that an adoption agency used her son's picture on the agency's web site without her permission.

Mom finds her baby up for sale on Craigslist

The Craigslist ad read: "A CUTE BABY BOY FOR ADOPTION HE IS VERY HEALTHY AND READY FOR ADOPTION FOR MORE YOU COME BACK TO US."

If you responded to the listed yahoo address, you received an email with a photo of an adorable baby boy. The email said the child was Canadian-born but living in an orphanage in Cameroon. If you replied to this email, you received another message requesting $300 to start the adoption process.

Sound suspicious? Yes, it was a big scam, and it turns out the photograph was lifted from the family blog of Massachusetts mom Jenni Brennan; the baby in the picture was her 7-month-old son, Jacob.



Scary, right? That is why husband doesn't think that we should post daughter's pictures on the internet, no matter what.
