Omg congrats Kaufman!! I didn’t realize you had a new baby on the way that’s so great!! Your position is the only rational one sadly

First, congrats on the new kid! Despite stories like this, and the one I share below, it will be an absolute blast. Excited for you.

Second, your approach is a good one, I think. When my youngest son was little, he was very sick and we had a Facebook page to notify people of how he was doing. In that community we saw many stories where strangers were taking pictures of sick kids and creating new Facebook pages and fundraisers around these kids that weren’t theirs — then keeping all the money for themselves of course.
