That is exactly how I see it. I joke around with people a lot. I said to my friend the other day, when I beat her into work the first time in ten years, "'bout time you got your a** in here". Would I say that to someone that I just met, when they showed up late at work? Of course not. I know the difference, I know my audience.

The potential adopter did not know her audience. She didn't know diddly squat about you. She did not put her best foot forward, and you made a judgment call based on the ONLY piece of evidence you had- her email. Kind of like what we were talking about in the tatoo thread. People make snap judgments all day long and twice on Sunday. Think if you can afford that or not.

I wouldn't adopt to her, and I probably wouldn't give my child's clothing away to people that didn't care enough to put their best foot forward.
