Should families share phone numbers before or after basic screening?

Direct answer
Phone numbers are better shared after basic screening, not as the first step with every unknown proposal.
Before sharing, confirm the profile, broad expectations, who will communicate, and whether the person represented is comfortable proceeding.
Once contact is shared, keep communication respectful, avoid financial requests, and pause if pressure or inconsistency appears.
This protects privacy without making the process cold. Families can still move forward warmly, but contact details should follow basic trust signals rather than replacing them.
