I did receive an email from Telefloral. I posted the body of it in the other thread on the same subject. Before I emailed it was still titled "Non-Mom" but a little while later the category did change. Everyone's efforts got them one step closer to socially acceptable... not totally there but closer.

I don't mind so much they separated out adoption. I don't think we can have it both ways. There are times where we want the world to learn about adoption and recognize the special attachment of it... next we want it to fade into the background as if it weren't any differnt a process toward building a family as any other.

In some ways I wish they had teamed with a group like Wendy's to take the opportunity to spot light adoption from foster care... we need more Mom's for our state children.
