Controversial? Couple, Jeremy and Christy Nueman, have been trying to have a baby for the last five years. After failing to get pregnant through several fertility treatment, they opted for adoption. Once they made this life changing decision, they didn't choose to use newspaper ads or bulletin board fliers to increase their chances of connecting with a birth mother, they created a short YouTube video to show who they are as a couple and potential parents.
Amanda, a seven month pregnant college woman, came across the Nueman's Youtube video. Amanda became drawn to the couple once she saw a snapshot of the Nuemans' adorable miniature pinscher, named Penny. She "giggled" when she saw Jeremy Nueman dancing happily in his kitchen, which reminded her of her own father. She played the video over and over again and ultimately fell in love with the Nuemans. The Nuemans then found a newborn baby warm in their arms soon after Amanda fell in love.
Controversial or Just another avenue? Does it change anything with the screening of adoptive parents? Would you trust a Youtube video?
Prospective parents are also utilizing other blog sites such as facebook, myspace, and twitter. Hmmmm......
