Annonymous Said....
In response to my "Hurt" post below "Annonymous" commented:Well...mind your own business...
You know, my first thought was to delete your comment "annonymous"--especially since you didn't have the courage to sign your name. But that would go against the reason that I keep this blog. I keep this blog so that (1) I can journal about our adoption process and (2) so that maybe others can learn about various aspects of adoption, waiting, and sometimes just about my life. So when I screwed up and UNINTENTIONALLY hurt somebody I first apologized to that person. I went further and apologized "publicly" on my blog. I didn't hide it and pretend that it didn't happen. It would have been much easier to just keep it quiet and not admit that I had hurt someone. Especially considering that I didn't CAUSE this person the pain they were going through (that was someone else). I unintentionally added salt to a wound that was open--and I feel awful about that.
"Annonymous," you obviously know more about this situation than I posted publicly. I challenge you to step up and be brave. Write to me--anytime! I'm here. I'm open. And I'll always sign my name.

Nichole, I don't think I've ever hurt you intentionally. I wanted to respond to the comment, so I did. =-)
Love ya,
Big Sis
I hate those anonymous comments - I even turned off commenting on my blog for a while because, although people didn't write hurtful things, they wrote opinionated "advice" kind of stuff without signing their names and it is very hard to let those comments stay there - I too wanted to delete. I wish that if people wanted to speak into our lives they would at least tell us who they are. :)
I can't agree more with Jennifer.
I have never posted anything annonymous. I am who I am - opinions and all. We are all entitled to our own opinion. And unfortuantly ( i know i can't spell) people get hurt in the process.
I've been hurt many times because I unintentionally hurt someones feelings online. Interesting enough - it was quite a while back when I was on an infertility yahoo group that turned into/sprung out into an adoption group.
:) Hang in there!!
