Facebook stock is tanking-Largest loss of value in Wall St. history

[Pendrench]

62. If for nothing else, I will always be thankful that my wife and I were able to find the

birthfamilies for both of our adopted children.

And, although understand and appreciate the negative aspects of Facebook (as well as all social media), I am not sure if there was/is another platform that would have allowed us to do this.

For example, finding our son's birth-mother was fairly easy (he was born in the states, and we had some basic information about her), but our daughter was born in Latvia, so we had very little personal information to begin with. So (using what we had) we were able to post in a variety of groups, and luckily a young lady from Riga (19 years old) happened to see one of these posts, and then took it upon herself to find our daughter's birth-mother (who did not have a phone, let alone a computer). Facebook also allowed us to find a birth-sister (living in Paris) and a birth-brother living in England.

So while it may be selfish, at least in instances like mine, Facebook served as a very positive tool.

I realize that we probably do not agree on this topic, but I appreciate the opportunity to share my viewpoint.

Wishing you well and peace.
