Many people tweeted her for criticizing Colin, She then said, users who sit “in their glass houses throwing stones.”
Love people who wallow in their ignorance and sit on social media in their glass houses throwing stones. #geteducated #adoptionisablessing

A lot of the people on twitter are calling Heidi and opportunist, some even said, she gave up her black child and kept the white ones. Some went as far as calling her a needy B*tch. Heidi feels that she is just giving him some advice as a mother would any child.
Ear Hustle 411 thinks she’s only trying to protect her son. Chime in and tell us your thoughts!
