I shared something on Facebook this week about how heartbreaking (and wrong!) it is to see so much negativity on social media regarding families who fundraise for their adoptions. \u00a0It is so<\/em> easy to have an opinion about something while never even taking one step in someone else’s shoes. \u00a0I guess that’s just one of the many downsides of social media. \u00a0It gives naysayers a platform to spew their judgmental, opinionated, nasty opinions so freely. \u00a0Sad.<\/p>\n
And while they carry on, there are families working their tails off to bring home children from hard places to a place of love and safety. \u00a0After reading something so heinous and so hurtful (toward a fundraising family) this week, I\u00a0was reminded\u00a0about the second child I ever fundraised for here on my blog.<\/p>\n
