I've gotten them wrong plenty, and have had my hand slapped several times because of it. But hopefully that's helped me learn, and given me another viewpoint.<BR/><BR/>I'm also trying to learn when NOT to comment at all, although I'm not very good at following my own rules. Even though blogs are in the public, many people don't see them that way. They view more like their own private domain. So sometimes even a perfectly normal comment raises hackles because the writer just doesn't want an a-parent there.<BR/><BR/>I'm enjoying reading your thoughts, glad you're sharing them.Third Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310395341252295955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28175944.post-1163738853057421912006-11-16T22:47:00.000-06:002006-11-16T22:47:00.000-06:00That's a real shame that she blew you off that way...That's a real shame that she blew you off that way. She lost an opportunity to share her point-of-view with someone who cared enough to try to understand.<BR/><BR/>I occasionally read blogs by birth mothers and adopted children who are unhappy with their adoption processes. They are often hard for an adoptive parent to read, but I do so for the same reason you do: to try to learn and perhaps avoid mistakes that the adoptive parents in their situations made.<BR/><BR/>Hope if you post comments to that type of blog in the future, you get a less rude response. Absolutely, it's a blogger's right to write about what she chooses, but common courtesy should still apply when someone is asking something in a genuine way.erinberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813231433661323654noreply@blogger.com
