While the historical model is not how adoption is typically
practiced today, the stigma of being the «type of woman» who would «just give her baby away» (now that other options are
legally available and socially
acceptable) carries on.
Just as a contract written on a Kleenex tissue in pencil, signed with an X, can be a
legally effective contract but is unlikely to be
acceptable in commercial
practice, so too certain kind of electronic communications will not satisfy basic business considerations.
