To the OP, thanks for starting the thread. When adoption is presented in the media, I always try to think about how my daughter will feel hearing it. Of course she's too young to understand it now, but some day she will. I know I can't protect her all the time. She will hear negative comments and messages about adoption. All I can do is what I can. So sending my email to McDonalds.

I was just kidding ...lighten up francis! it was in response to "the people on the guatemala board aren't offended" comment... but now I guess someone is But I'm glad that you agree and are so upset that I suggested people might like McRib sandwiches in your daughter's beautiful birth country because obviously no one anywhere likes that thing!

As the adoptive mother of 2 BEAUTIFUL Guatemalan children, I found YOUR comment far more offensive than the McDonalds commercial.

You're just a regular comedian Escott.......or NOT.

Just a note that we aren't going to have "Thread Wars" on here or on the other thread. There were a couple of snarks on the other thread too, so let's just leave it at that and all take care to post respectfully on both threads.

Offended or not offended...everyone's entitled to their own opinions and we all need to respect those differences.

THanks!
Crick
