The "Non-Mom"
According to the article, it's been discussed in the forum although I haven't seen anyone discussing it here and didn't know if you guys had seen this:
Who You Calling a Non-Mom? - E! Online I'm glad that they decided to change the title in the first place from their special, but I still personally can't believe the insensitivity of them even feeling that we need to be categorized in the first place, but maybe that's just me.

A Mother's Day celebration that celebrates "Non-moms". Yeah, that made a lot of sense.

I think it was one of those Gotta-Be-PC-But-I-Have-No-Idea-What-I'm-Doing ideas that someone in upper management tried to push thru originally.
I'm very glad they corrected it though. It was about as insulting as it comes, and to think it was going to be nationally aired that way! WOW.

Us over on the Guatemalan Forum e-mailed them. LOTS of us e-mailed them:-) We were all pretty upset about it! If you go to the Guat forum you will see all the posts about it.

jumping over from the Korean board...
I posted this to the various Korean boards that I'm on. Today I got this response from Teleflora: Dear Jen, You’re absolutely right and I’m very sorry your feelings were hurt. The original aim was to highlight Moms who didn’t take a traditional path to motherhood. But we didn’t convey that clearly and instead we annoyed and upset people, which was not our intention. To say, or in any way imply, that an adoptive mother has a lesser status than a biological mother is untenable and offensive, and we sincerely apologize. I appreciate you taking the time to post your comment. Best, Jacqueline Fitzgerald Teleflora 11444 Olympic Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90064

I would say they more than 'annoyed' people! LOL Many including myself were downright ...well, words that can't be used on this board-LOL. At least they are taking it seriously and may think next time.
