Would you share pictures of your children here on MyLot?

I've always been against it because my children (the ones living at home) are adopted. I'm always scared something will happen if someone notices them. They have changed so much in the past two years that I really don't know if anyone would now. I've had some of my friends here on MyLot ask why I don't have photos in my profile of my family. Well, I decided today that I would share one photo in a discussion only because it will only be seen by a few. Here is the photo of our happy little family.

It would depend on the website, whether I would add photos of my children. Most likely, I would not add photos of either of my girls here on myLot. My youngest, who is now officially a senior, has a multi-page website geared toward getting recruited for college, which has several photos along with her school contact info. At first that was extremely scary, but we realized that mainly coaches and other athletes would be the only people seeing her website. On my blog, I have a privacy setting, which would not allow the average person to get my contact info. I have one photo of her (which isn't very clear), but her name, nor my husband's is ever used on the site.

You are so right. I probably shouldn't have shared their picture here. I don't have it on my profile, I just put it in this discussion so, there aren't many people seeing it, just my friends that see the discussion.

Of course I love to see the pictures of other people's children, but no, I would not share those of my own if I had any. I think it is just too much of a risk. But I am highly conservative in this matters, and one does see many parents proudly display photos of their little ones. Your family is adorable.

I'd feel a little weird posting pictures of my kids on here. It's just different than a social networking site I suppose. I do have pictures of my family on my myspace, and there other family members can see it. I don't have any other family members on here and mylot doesn't seem like the kind of place to me that others would come to see pictures.

I understand. My kids wanted me to post it here so, I did. I don't think I would put it in my profile though.

Actually no. The only place I share family pics are on Multiply b/c it's password protected and the person has to be a contact to view my pics. I also make sure I always ask before I post anyones pic other than my own. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I personally would never post pictures of my kids here in mylot or anywhere else on the internet. I am even too scared to send pictures through email. You never know what could happen, and I just won't take that chance. It is just my opinion, so son't feel like I am judging you for doing it, I just don't trust too easily. I will take a look at the picture though, I am sure you have a lovely family.

Okay I have looked and I was right, you do have a lovely family. I think it makes it a bit better that your kids are boys, where as girls get abused more by prediators than boys do.

Courage that is what it took to put your children here. The reason I havent is because of predators, I keep seeing how people are finding children by the pictures thier parents put on line to show friends and family that I could not put mine here however cute the picture is.
