The Adopted Girl Trump Praised Tuesday Night is More Special Than He Knew

Adopting a daughter has changed her life and opened her eyes to the beauty of adoption, one mother says.

Finding out the baby was addicted to an opioid couldn’t dim that beauty, the mother said in an interview with The Daily Signal.

“I can’t even tell you or measure the amount of joy that she has brought to us,” Lisa Alexander, who adopted 4-year-old Katharine with her husband Bruce, said in the phone interview Monday.

“When I first saw Katharine, it was very, very similar to having a birth child, like your own child,” Alexander said. “I think [that’s] what opened my eyes, and my heart, to understanding adoption.”

In a speech Tuesday night in Washington, President Donald Trump praised Katharine.

“Katharine’s 4 years old and she is full of incredible energy, spirit, and talent,” Trump told attendees at a gala hosted by the pro-life organization Susan B. Anthony List. “At the age of 2, she memorized ‘America the Beautiful.’ She recites poetry, and recently she announced to her dad that when she grows up she wants to be a famous police officer. And then when she gets tired of that, she wants to become president.”

President Donald J. Trump:

“So tonight, we celebrate you, Katharine,” the president continued. “We celebrate your life … and we celebrate all lives. We celebrate the loving choice of adoption.”

This is a very heart warming story. And it is real life not phony news.

Meanwhile, seditionist Richard Painter, buffoon kollidge professor, is openly excusing multiple serious Federal felonies by Hillary Clinton, and attacking President Trump with #FakeNews yellow journalism lies.

There's a rope with his name on it somewhere...

We look forward to the day that Katharine Alexander becomes a truth-telling college professor and replaces one of the seditionists.

Heart warming, but they miss the point. Chinese Fen, Mex Heroin, Meth, Cocaine is the OPIOID CRISIS, and SCAM PILL MILLS they now make you go to are the OPIOID CRISIS rest is FAKE. https://www.axios.com/china-fentanyl-opioids-opioid-crisis-drug-dealers-1c30566e-20aa-41e4-bea0-1563e7fcc5c8.html

Friends adopted their own grandson, a cocaine baby.

A long and arduous path.

I also knew the father; from West Point to the gutter.
Sad.

Very sad. Sorry.

But I’m proud they adopted their grandson.

Fake News must be Exposed for what it is. If that is done, a number of Media companies will go out of business.

Absolutely. But she is already aiming higher than that, if that is possible.

"“She told us about … Katharine, and she said that she was passed over by a couple, and that we were the next in line, and the reason being is that she had an opioid addiction,” Alexander said. Katharine’s birth mother was addicted to OxyContin due to pain from a back injury, and as a result the baby had to be weaned from the drug."

Amazing Grace.

So, Humbled, almost the blurry screen alert here. They are under 18, so I'll not get into the particulars, however. In my fam's circles are 2 kids, one, an older teen and one much younger. This scenario is theirs, addicted mom and adoption. Amazing, amazing kids, so blessed to know them and their stellar parents who took the chance and applied all the good parental stuff and love and it works, they grow and become everything a parent would want in a kid.

We have two liberal couples as friends. They both support abortion and both have adopted daughters. Neither see the problem with their choices. Fortunately at least to lovely girls were saved.

"There's a rope with his name on it somewhere... "

If not I will happily personally bear the cost of a strong roll of hemp. Even though:

"A man like that ain't worth the food he eats much less the price of a decent rope."

Yes, and these cases must be publicized and held up as success stories in the face of the world.

Thanks for supporting examples. This is what America always was. I hate the Godless Left for what they have done to this great nation.

I’ve felt this way since the 1960’s.

My anger with them has only grown.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY about my family...

Married a long time, we decided to adopt...After a two year wait and an amazing case worker we were Blessed with a new baby who was seven weeks old, we would have had him sooner, but he developed a feeding problem...He was the most beautiful child ever, when I picked him up, I looked at hubby, said, ‘HE IS OURS’? HUBBY SMILED LIKE A KING...HE SAID..’I THINK SO’...

WHAT a wonderful gift from two very young people who wanted more than they could provide for him. He fit into our lives perfectly and today, he is an amazing 46 year old man, handsome, talented , successful, and very well educated, having 11 years of College and higher learning..A job he truly enjoys and we are still, MOM and DAD...we see him often and speak several times a week, sometimes more...he never gave us a problem, we shared all we knew, with him at an early age..and as he grew up I would ‘Thank Him’ for coming into our lives, and he would tell me ...I AM THE ONE WHO IS THANKFUL, MOM, YOU AND DAD SEARCHED AND FOUND ME’...he is not our flesh and bone, but miraculously our own..

When he was 3 1/2 years old, I discovered I was pregnant..and on Fathers Day we had a beautiful daughter, today she is 42 years old...and no way could we be more Blessed than we are..She has always been close to her brother and they keep in touch, but many miles between them..LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD...

ADOPTION works, but you have to really want it to work also..So to this little 4 year old girl, that DJT acknowledged ...She will grow up with the thrill of being loved by a POTUS who is making AMERICA A GREAT NATION, ONE WE WILL ALL BE PROUD OF...

GOD BLESS ALL PARENTS..RAISING CHILDREN IS A FULL TIME JOB...DO IT WITH LOVE, PRIDE, RESPECT, HONOR, and at the end, you can said...I’m ready Lord, my job on Earth is done..

Great story, and The Party of Compassion hates him for it.

He can carry their hatred as a badge of courage and justice.

The ComDems are a truly evil force.

6 year ago I adopted my niece because

A) We wanted a baby, and

B) Bio mom was/is an utter loser.

You know what’s crazy? The behavior problems possessed by bio mom as a child are the exact same behavior problems manifesting currently in our daughter.
