Kimberly Cortz trains state employees on adoptions and how important due diligence is. "I begin a discussion on adoption matching by handing out personal ads," Cortz says. She becomes the dating service and every participant is "single and looking." Without gathering information on her participants, she randomly hands out ads to every person. After each person has had a chance to read their ad, she asks for a poll on how well she did on matching them up. This leads naturally into talking about matching up children with families.
