And by the way, I have three kids. I did not choose any of them. They were chosen for me by a higher power or chance or whatever. I just gratefully took what was given to me and said 'Thank You very much'. I will give you a piece of advice my Mother gave me: ‘Ignore Ignorance’ which is what that stupid post was.

People who have time for rank, unexamined hostility are projecting their sh*t onto you. Period. Balanced people don't feel the need to tear someone else down because they don't feel a looming chasm of self-disgust or the resulting need to be propped up. *It’s always about them, not about you.*

I sometimes get comments where people totally disregard the post above and the post below and don't even look at the DATE of the post. Sigh. Asshats. Of course, I got two nasty comments WHILE I was adopting in China. Nice. Oh yes.

Bless her litle heart. (I don't mess with 'tad' size sarcasm, dear - I go for the whole vat!) Anyone who's read or 'known' you online longer than 10 minutes would have known that one post was about a sweet thing Dotter said not your philosophy on adoption.

A lot of us start out trying to become experts in a hurry, and learn so much we think we ARE experts -for a while. Then reality of family life steps in and we learn not to sweat the details. You know how it is. She may be new to internet etiquette as well, since picking a fight over a detail is not the kind of presence you want to leave in the blogosphere.

I've had a few of those myself. I laugh at them because they are so cowardly. I tend to laugh at all snarky comments. But then, I've had occasion to develop a teflon hide. ;?) What a cretin.
