After reading lots of blogs I realize it is just a fact of life that you will get comments you don’t agree with. Which is part of the reason blogs are awesome. People have a right to disagree with you. So, surprisingly for the first time, I have finally received a comment that was ‘different’ than my usual ones. Since the poster was basically anonymous I have 2 responses; one for if you are a stranger, and one for if I know you in real life:
The first thing I wanted to say is that this blog was not created to be solely about our son. In fact, it was originally created to be a way to let our friends and family know how Supergirl was doing… However, we started the adoption process right about the same time I switched from blogspot to wordpress, hence the name ‘findingbabyg.’ That is where I was in life at that moment in time. I realize I should change the name now that our little man is home. (I’m open to suggestion
) So in all actuality the blog is about our whole family, if anything it is probably most about me. My thoughts, my days, my randomness… If it seems as though I write more about Supergirl it is because she TALKS. She says things that I can quote. We have conversations. Now I realize I could write all about how Boomer said Car 75 times yesterday, or how he says mama or dada, or more, but I think that would probably get a little repetitive…maybe that’s just me.
At first I took offense to the comment, even becoming a little defensive. As if someone were intruding into our family. However, after some time I am choosing to look at it as someone who cares about our son. Which is okay with me. I love this little boy and don’t mind the fact that a stranger would be concerned about his well-being. I assure you that I love BOTH of my children. And I absolutely have a firm attachment to Boomer, just as he has a firm attachment to us. He is our son!!! Is he a very active little boy, definitely. He is our very active son! And we love him for that. He is funny, smart, loving, and a crazy dancer who loves to wear hats and shades. And unless you live with us you may not know all of that. I can honestly say that my relationship with him would not be different at all if he had grown in my belly. Not at all! I love him. He is my son.
Now…if the person who left the comment is someone I know in ‘real life’… Then all I can say is I am very disappointed. Disappointed you did not feel comfortable enough with me to say that in person.
That is all…
