Cindy, you sound like an awesome Mom and person! I hope you're not offended by this thread in any way! I'm sure it's no reflection on your mothering especially since we don't really know you....we only know what you write.

I like Cindy McCain too. I didn't know about her humanitarian efforts or the McCain's adoption before the convention so, I've sure learned a few things about our candidate this past week. How wonderful that she has so much and is willing and able to share her goodness and fortune!

We have a beautiful and wonderful daughter! I'm so proud of her! People often say to me that dreaded statement..."She's so lucky you found her". I hate that. I hate to hear it and I hate that she's going to hear it! I make sure to always say oh no, it's us who are the lucky ones! God has certainly blessed our lives with our gift of our daughter! It's a shame people who are not adoptees don't understand how these innocent statements can make an adopted child feel. I wish we could get the message out!

Sorry for the rambling.....just another Friday night around here....

Have a great weekend everyone!
Jeanne
