Preparing to become a mother has made me so much more aware of wanting to make the world a better place for her and other children like her. But is overwhelming sometimes to realize how much there still is to do, how far we still have to go.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824783896256933963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-50440649449983293192007-09-07T16:54:00.000-04:002007-09-07T16:54:00.000-04:00I swear it is still the 19th century in some of th...I swear it is still the 19th century in some of these places. I read a few months ago about a school that had its first ever integrated prom THIS YEAR (and of course it may not happen again as schools are rapidly resegegating, but i digress). It is too easy for those of us who live in liberal, urban areas to forget that this hatred and stupidity still exists in full force in some places. Good for you for getting the word out.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458243392930197050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-77015790885243138002007-09-06T16:13:00.000-04:002007-09-06T16:13:00.000-04:00Whoa... one post has the power to make 'anonymous'...Whoa... one post has the power to make 'anonymous' reconsider her adoption decision?!??! Talk about spineless. <BR/><BR/>I too am a blond (with the help of a bottle), single (whatevs) woman (although I can swear like a male trucker) in the adoption process. I think these discussions, topics and other current event issues are all important dialogue, not just for adoption, but for citizens in general. It's healthy, esp. if it's thought-provoking and emotion-generating stuff.<BR/><BR/>And for the sake of argument, let's say this blog is totally anti-green eyes.. why should it prevent others from adopting green eyed kids if that's what they want?? If that's the case, kudos to Tami for having incredible power over other people's thoughts and decisions.Tasha Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031465671779589657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-57439507004552933712007-09-05T22:03:00.000-04:002007-09-05T22:03:00.000-04:00Hey Tami,I'm so glad you posted this on your blog....Hey Tami,<BR/>I'm so glad you posted this on your blog. I ordered my shirt today!! It really is a misuse of power, and a modern day lynching going on in Jena. It's great you are exposing many to the travesty of justice going on down there. The website is colorofchange.com for those who want more information on the situation in Jena. Please support if you can.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653153951401596007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-65645607115869262372007-09-05T21:22:00.000-04:002007-09-05T21:22:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-50862315401572719582007-09-05T19:35:00.000-04:002007-09-05T19:35:00.000-04:00I read about this yesterday and was outraged & sic...I read about this yesterday and was outraged & sickened.
