Obama met with troops--but you're right in that McCain has been there more than 30 times. Actually the McCains have a fairly impressive philanthropic history in terms of where they've been and what they've done. Thanks for the comment!

So you're saying that social workers in the UK have us statistics and understand how things run here so that they can make sure we're progressing properly? Hmmmm. . .interesting.

I love all these statements about "most" adoptees and/or "most adoptive parents". Do you actually know "most adoptees" and "most" of their parents?

There are many children out there who are not better off for having known their birth families. There are many children who have been abandoned and the love of an adoptive family can heal wounds.

Yes--there are flawed systems & agencies but welfare is hardly the system that we should look to for making good decisions regarding families. We are not truly supporting families via welfare either.

You forgot my secret: the pith of an orange peel removes stains and is gentle enough on your teeth that it can be done frequently!
