How adjectives is it for ppl to approach expecting mothers in the region of adoption?

how often do pregnant women get approached about giving their babies up for adoption? Im not discussion about women who are at an adoption agency, but women who are at the market or a retail store etc. just out of the blue.
I conjecture it depends on the area.

Where I live, it wouldn't happen, because we don't really have private adoption; it's adjectives handled by government. So there would be no benefit to approaching a woman, since if she relinquished it would be to any a relative or foster care. (Which some people do, of course.)

However, I've hear of solicitation happening frequently enough to people contained by other areas to believe it happens. I think it just depends on the cultural standards and expectations, and the law about relinquishment and private adoption.
I got it twice actually. I chew over because i am so young though. One time it was a rude old woman, who said something like "i hope you're giving that poor innocent child up for adoption, so he/she doesn't have a kid raising him/her". Then i certainly had a younger woman come up to me, and told me politely that her and her husband were looking to adopt..and asked if i was considering giving mine up for adoption. But any way, i think it's rude. You do those kinds of things through an adoption agency.
In solid life? Almost never

Here on Y/A? There's a "Me too" complex. One person says it happen to her and then people who NEVER mentioned it happening to them, starts have flash backs. SO surprise.

I'd say it happens from time to time, but 1 time is too much.

I Sh!t you not. There was a post on YA complaining about being approached at Wal-mart in the order of her baby THEN she turns around and does the SAME thing to another woman. Now THAT woman can say she be approached. SCANDALOUS I say.

Wal-mart does seem to be a hot spot for people mortal approached about their baby.
I also don't think it happens recurrently.

In the last 5 years, 2 members of my scrapbooking group were approached. They be teachers, but looked very young. In both instances, they call police from their cell phones and I know one woman was criminally charged. She was convicted of something, but I don't remember what - stalking I think. The cops said that it be very uncommon that someone REPORTED it, not that it is uncommon.

If this happen, call the cops. You are being cased not unlike a burgler cases homes with intent to burglarize.
Infertiles would do anything for a baby. They would kidnap them if they thought they could get away beside it.
I am 33 weeks into my 2nd pregnancy and that has NEVER happen and I would be appalled if it did.

OMG @ the first answerer! I would have been so mad and noticeably would not have been nice, old female, young lady, or the Queen of England. that is a moment ago horrible!
Answers:    It is a adjectives practice for the adoption industry to tell potential adopters to "put the word out" that they are looking to adopt. Pap's enlist the help of their family, friends, co-workers, fellow church member, etc... to find expectant women.
The problem is, they have no control over what these people do or to what extent they go to "help" surrounded by their cause.

On top of that, agencies, lawyers and facilitators enlist their own volunteers or representatives to scour schools, college campus, dorms, etc.. any place expectant women might be.

I know expectant mothers who have been approached at malls, grocery stores, libraries, post offices, churches, doctors office, holiday events, sporting events, while dining out, walking home from class and including being approached at work.
I have never hear of anyone doing that...unless something was wrong with them. I never had anyone do that while I be pregnant. Somene would have to be desperate to approach some random pregnant woman and ask if she was giving her babe-in-arms away...
I was a pregnant teenager in the 90's and I be never approached by anyone wanting to adopt my baby. I can't say how common or extraordinary it is. It just didn't happen to me.
I've been pregnant four times, it has never happened to me or anyone I know.
