I know that the couples whose profile I had to review that I didn't pick never knew that I didn't pick them. (Or at least I don't think they did - if someone that has been on the other side of the adoption process knows otherwise please educate me!) I'm sure that just Beth and John's profile spoke to me, those profiles found their way to birthmothers that they spoke to as well.
