Another thing I love to do is when I leave comments on other blogs, I always end it by saying "We are looking to adopt. Check out our adoption blog at http://joshandsavannahadopt.blogspot.com."
I LOVE to leave this on high traffic blogs like Cake Wrecks. I try to be one of the first to leave a comment so everyone else who leaves a comment behind me will see it. I try to do this 2 or 3 times a month. EVERY TIME I do it, the traffic to my blog increases astronomically and almost always someone will leave a comment on our adoption blog and tell a brief summary of their own adoption stories.
You never know how you will meet your birth mother so don't limit yourself. Step out of your comfort zone and speak up for yourself. You are your best advocate.

I love this post, thanks for the ideas! One thing I did immediately after we got approved was to write a letter to all our family, friends and ward members. It was just one page but listed every possible way to contact us. I enclosed 10 pass along cards with every letter and encouraged everyone to give them to their bishops andr relief society leaders. In one week I sent out 1200 pass along cards. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback since then and many people have given out our pass along cards to potentional birthmothers!
It makes the time go by faster when I'm actively doing something to promote us!
Best of luck to you!
