    1. I know you did not mean it in this way, but I think referring to renting African American kids out carries with it a lot of baggage stemming from our country's history of racism. Since this is probably the farthest thing from what you intended, I just wanted to point out that it can be unintentionally hurtful.

    3. Your response is very interesting to me. I just saw a humorous comment to a mom about her child. And I hope your comment wasn't hurtful to Shannan.

  53. So jealous! I can't wait til we're back in the states for awhile and I can get some help and tips with Isaiah's hair. He is ALWAYS handsome, but I need people who know things this white-mama just doesn't know......and for the record, I want PEOPLE to tell me, not the internet. This pic wouldn't be the same with you doing it sitting in front of a wiki-how screen. Ya know?
