I have a friend who is an incredible adoptive mom. She and her husband adopted a little girl about 4 years ago, and then adopted the girl's baby brother just last year.

This young lady was a teacher at a local elementary school, and needed to take off a couple of months due to the boy's health issues. Since she did not have enough days available to be off, she posted pleas on social media for other teachers in the area who had time available to please consider donating it to her.

There were some good people who donated days to her with no question.

But the haters came out of the woodwork - with the quickness....

"Stop this nonsense of asking for time off!"
"If you had planned better, you would have all the time you need."
"Girl please. Nobody ain't giving up their time for you! Just plain selfish."
"Maybe adoption isn't for you."
"You never satisfied. Got a little girl already - leave the boy alone."
"Aren't you selling that stuff on the side? It's not making enough money for you to quit?? I KNEW IT WAS A SCAM!!!!"

I mean, come on! Really?!? 

She is working to do the best thing she knows to do - which is to be present for her two littles when they need her the most. And you have the audacity to HATE what she's doing????

Who the f%*k are you to judge???

Wouldn't you do WHATEVER IT TOOK to make sure you were available for your kids when they needed YOU??? 
Or would you listen to the haters in your life and "fall in line"??

In my honest opinion, people who have something negative or miserable to say ALL THE TIME - need to find a life and go live it. And those folks who wonder why I am so upset about it (and they aren't my kids)...you are such a Snow Queen (or King).

Look.

Your life is WAY too short to be hating on how other people live and on what other people need.

Be so busy with your own issues that you have absolutely zero time to be involved in other folk's drama.

And Lord knows we ALL have issues to deal with, right??

Okay, I'm off my soapbox now.

So, how are you liking that recommendation I gave you the other day? Are you getting gold nuggets out of it from the beginning??

If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to http://bit.ly/LBNOUYW and see what the hype is about.

We'll talk again soon, okay?
Got a lot of irons in the fire, and I'm excited to share....
