over the past several weeks i have heavily edited my FB friends list. having worked with several organizations while in korea, my FB friends list basically got out of control. due to this, i have had a somewhat public profile for the past several years because i felt i should represent these organizations and thus opened up my FB, even though i am (believe it or not!) a very private person by nature (up until two years ago, of my own strict intention, my face had never been on TV and i had never been interviewed for any newspaper articles). as i prepare to become a parent, i am once again becoming more sensitive to the value of intimacy and privacy. i hope anyone that i deleted is not offended and i hope no one misunderstands and thinks that there was a personal reason for it, there was not. the criteria for deletion was basically: 1) people whose names/photos i didnt recognize, 2) people who i had never met and/or had any interaction with, 3) people who i have met but have not had interaction with in several years. again, please understand it was not personal. in fact i deleted several people who i have very fond memories of from high school and college, we are just no longer in touch. for those of you who friended me bc you are interested in keeping up with my work with adoptee rights and unwed mothers, please feel free to follow my public FB posts as i will continue posting relevent news articles and writings that are not private both publicly on my FB page and on my tumblr : peaceshannon.tumblr. for those specifically interested in KUMFA, please join the KUMFA page : facebook/groups/kumfa
