Every month I see several birth announcements on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I know exactly what moment the baby was born, what they looked like in sonogram photos, what their first food was, their favorite animal, who their siblings are, where they traveled on vacation, etc. I've enjoyed these moments, but in the back of my mind, I find myself feeling sad for children who are growing up during our online over-sharing era. These kids get shared with all of us before they are even out of the womb.
