Today one of my archived blog posts is featured over a Blog Nosh (magazine) in the Pregnancy/Birth/Adoption channel. I feel famous!
“Blog Nosh Magazine is an online magazine dedicated to promoting the best archived posts from your own personal blogs. “

Rock on!

Letter writing campaigns? Boycotting your kid’s favorite place to eat? All because of a WORD?
Google “mcdonald adoption commercial” and you will get a plethora of anger about one tiny adoption reference. Instead of falling prey to all this stupidity, here’s my take:
