I know I make time in my life for many things - work, family, friends, etc. I don't have time to be hateful to others, however, it would seem some readers of this blog have found time to be critical and negative. Its easy to be hateful and judgemental when you can hide behind "anonymous" postings.
As a result, I will now only allow people who register to make comments.

I think it is awful that people would be hateful. I hope Jack has an easy recovery. You are doing such a wonderful job with him! He seems like such a wonderful part of your family.

Hello from your cousins in Boston, Kempfs! Brant said a special prayer for Jack at Mass this morning and we all hope he is feeling much better!
Michael enjoyed meeting him and says he's a real cutie. Fred and Danielle say hi too, we got to see them Friday night and they are doing great. Sorry to hear some people are so callous about your blog--we've learned too in life a lot of people don't have enough to worry about! Try to let it go and know how special little Jack is!
Happy Mother's Day, the McCarrons~
Christine, Michael, Brant & Jace
I have loved hearing about Jack, and am sorry that the world has negative people who don't have enough love in their hearts to share the joy of others.
His surgery/recovery is amazing. It is wonderful that he is so resilent. Happy Mother's Day!! Susan Wilham
I have been following your blog since you were in China and have thought nothing but gratitude for you sharing your family's journey!
My husband and I are in the process of reviewing SN files for a son and there is a high likelyhood that we'll adopt a cleft child. I look forward to updates on Jack and learn so much from your family about what we can expect in the months coming up.
How disrespectful for anyone to come to YOUR blog and make negative rude comments. If they don't like it, they can go elsewhere. I think your doing a great job and Jack is adorable and obviously adjusting great. Hunter is such a great big brother and is obviously so proud!
Best wishes to Jack in his recovery!
I don't want to be seen as a lurker, so I'm speaking up! I have been reading your blog for a long time now, couldn't quite tell you how long, but before you went to get Jack.
Regardless, I hope Jack has a spedy recovery and I hate when people leave negative comments. I wonder what they said, but then again, I don't care to know because any negativity is not needed in the world. I am glad you are taking the high route!
I dont know which is worse being hateful or being ignorant! I cant believe that someone would have the audacity to compare a child to a monkey.
It is a tough world to grow up in, and even tougher for children with ignorant parents. Parents that do not have the proper morals or ethics will pass these horrific traits on to their children.
It is obvious that you are not capable of comprehending the damage that this may do to your children as they grow. You may be doing your job taking care of your child physically but you will definately need help in the moral and education department. So I strongly suggest getting some literature on social etiquette.
Your children will thank you for it someday!

Good afternoon concerned parent,
I appreciate you having the courage to publicly share your concerns. Unfortunately, when you are working with the limited information a blog provides its easy to misinterpret simple comments or posts. Clearly, you have fallen into the trap of misunderstanding. I can tell that you are a passionate and convicted person. I am very much that way myself. I don’t know whether I can help you to better understand my post about Baby Dikika, but I will try.
The National Geographic article is not about a monkey. Its about a 3+ million year old infant fossil found in Ethiopia. They have related this fossil to the famous Lucy skeleton discovered in Africa. In the illustration created based on the skull of the fossil, my husband and I saw bright eyes and an easy smile. I believe you have elaborated the extent of my post to be far more serious.
I don’t know you, therefore, I have no way of knowing if you will receive this information openly or not. However, I am more than confident that anyone who has ever spoken to me would know there is not an amoral bone in my body…and certainly not such a socially inept one as to allow me to openly criticize a stranger that I do not understand.
Lastly, I don’t ever expect or much less need a thank you from my precious children. They are a gift for which I give thanks everyday.
Wishing you the same tolerance you wished me,
Caroline
