HelpRe: No Birth Announcements in Newspaper
in reply to a message by T_E_T
Yes, a lot don't.
I'm told that in the mid-20th century, many newspapers printed lists of people who'd been admitted to the hospital, names and addresses included. Obviously a very bad thing to do on a number of levels and and I don't know of any paper that would do this today.
I think probably an individual parent could run a birth announcement in the paper, like buying a classified ad.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
