Discuss with each other how you would like to proceed. Do you want to e-mail a list of questions or ask questions over the phone? Are you a good fit for each other? Do you want to meet in person first? What questions would you like to ask each other? Can you drive to each other? Does the milk need to be shipped? Etcetera.

It is also important to discuss what you would like a recipient to do with your milk if they cannot use it for any reason or if they have more than they need. Your recipient cannot pass on your milk, even with your permission. You will need to post your offer again, and the first recipient can be the pickup location. The new recipient needs to be able to screen you themselves. Remember to discuss safe handling and storage practices with your recipients.

Remember to practice safe social networking.
