Thumbs up Cheerios Adoption Ad!!!

If you want to see something really well done (and have a few boo-hoo moments to boot -- it made ME cry) check out the adoption-themed Cheerios commercial.

Go to the cheerios website (you can google the URL, but it's exactly what you think it would be) and click on the "Adoption" link bottom left.

Someone on the Biglist posted about this, and I just watched the ad, and it's SO sweet!!

Cheers for Cheerios!!

How sweet is that!!! It is only Sunday and I am already crying! With hope of something happening each week, I usually can hold off the tears each week until about Thursday or Friday.

It was touching and all, but boy, if that had been a commercial about me and my daughter there would have been a helluva lot more wailing on the part of the kid.

It's funny that you posted about this. I've seen the ad before on the website b/c someone had told me about it, and I always wondered why I never saw it on tv. But I DID see it this past Thurs or Fri. I cried again when I saw it. It is a great ad. Thank you Cheerios for shaing that moment!
