I can’t hold myself back, I have to vent here.
Some people have WAY too much time of their hands, and you know who you are. We got a complaint filed against us that we were posting pictures and information about foster kids on our blog. There was NO information but apparently not even pictures of the back of a baby’s head or with a gigantic cartoon graphic covering their face are acceptable. I’m wondering if the person who is wasting my time, the state’s time, my agency’s time and sending a lot of bad vibes my way realizes that instead of holding our little foster baby today, I had to spend over an hour going over the blog with a fine tooth comb. That’s time well spent, thanks. And before you get your panties in a bunch and file a report that I wasn’t holding the baby, rest assured that I made the time while he/she (wouldn’t want to post important info, such as gender) was napping soundly in bed.
I’m seriously contemplating locking the blog….I still wouldn’t post information or foster kid’s pics but maybe send a message to whoever is lurking out there to leave me alone. We provide a safe, loving home for kids while the state figures out their plan and we treat them as our own. Kids going into care at all is a sad, tough situation all the way around and we are on the front lines when we comfort a child after their world gets turned upside down. Don’t take your anger out on us, we aren’t the enemy, we’re just trying to make it as easy on the child as possible!
To my loyal readers (all 20 of you!)…sorry, no more cute baby hand pictures. If I don’t post for awhile, most likely we have a little one. I’m done ranting here, sorry for that. I have a thick skin, but after awhile I’m done.
