"Before I was even born, my birth dad made a brave decision — to give me a life," Mills told the St. Paul Pioneer Press in Sunday's editions. "It was a selfless act, just like his actions on Flight 93. And, as awful as it was that he died, and I never got to know him, there is good that came out of this."

So often we hear of kids given up for adoption who resent the birth parents' decision. This story is a good example of someone who did the right thing by giving up a kid then, and later did the right thing on United 93. Really nice story.

MAJOR MISTAKE, often made. Those were not her "adoptive parents." Sheesh. Those were her PARENTS!! The "birth parents" were genetic donors only, not parents at all, though they deserve serious kudos for letting their offspring live and allowing her to grow up in an intact, loving home.

It really bothers me that journalists would never say words that denigrate SOME groups but they never hesitate in these "birth parent" stories to denigrate real parents who happened to adopt their children.

Ok. I am happy for her that she's found this out. I do think that it's an invasion of privacy for the heroic Mr. Burnett and his widow and three young daughters.

Well, this story is why I tell kids that "heros" aren't super-humans or "g-ds".

They are heros because they do awesome things even though they are just
imperfect human beings.

The real heroes are the folks who adopted her.

Did I read that right? Did Tom Burnett's widow, Deena get remarried? and now she also has a stepson? You never get to read about how the families have moved on, which is a good thing. Life does go on.
