Photolisting orphans is like a double edge sword . In order to raise awareness and encourage adoption some individuals feel photographs are important. But posting pictures of children can also be considered exploitation especially when the child's country forbids the practice. Most EE countries do not allow preselection of children or photolisting on 2nd or 3rd party sites.
I have great respect who decide to adopt without seeing the child first. The family has the homestudy and months of paperwork before getting the referral or seeing the first photograph. In other words the family doesn't fall in love with a picture and then start the adoption process.
The families who follow the rules also don't share personal information about the child until the adoption process is completed. They don't publicly share information about other children either.
Because of positive behavior of the parents and respect of the policies , future adoptions can and will happen for other families in this particular country.
