Not sure if ads are targetted on freeforums dot net, but it must be very galling for some here, particularly prospectives, if they see the Families for Children ad that I keep seeing .
" Some children are harder to place and you can help" was what the ad i just saw said. I was just finished reading a thread from a fristrated adopter -in-waiting .........

Do you perhaps have some sort of ad- block on , Corkwing? I am referring to my ipad , where, unlike my pc, i dont have anything blocking ads.
today i seem to be getting hot- cloth cleanser ads and other beauty products but its frequently Families for Children whose ads appear and try to tell me sbout all the kids i could adopt !!

I don't know, Pingu. I do get lots of ads on other sites: just not this one.

I get loads of adoption/fostering ones on Facebook, but on here I seem to get different shops eg M&S or New Look depending on where I've looked recently. Not had any Families for Children - but maybe I will after posting this!

I "switch off" the ads on here, whatever they are; used to irritate me at first but now, I actually don't see them (so happily, as a prospective, not been upset by any adoption/fostering focused ads but it's sweet of you to think of us) x

Kermit's not exactly the most tech-savvy person on the planet, so I do any online shopping. Which gets embarrassing after I've bought clothing for her and for weeks or months afterwards I get loads of adverts for ladies' underwear.
And yes, I am sticking to that explanation, whatever you say.

I get lots of ads for dating sites. I assume its because I frequent a single adopters forum. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

Currently being offered double data (not dates) on Tesco phone for three and a half times what I am currently paying, lucky me, am rushing to not buy it!

I'm getting Hollister ads for expensive teenage clothes (dream on) and Open University 'Start designing yours today' (I have too many qualifications already, lol.)
Still, these are an improvement on the World Vision one with a very scared girl afraid of being married off, aged 8.
