"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.

So often we hear of kids given up for adoption who resent the birth parents' decision.

I met one (who shall remain nameless) here on FR a few weeks ago who was ultra-bitter, and believed there was nothing worse than being deprived of the birth mother's presence. When I pointed out that two loving, financially stable parents will always be better than one parent struggling in poverty, she acted as if I was saying money was more important than love. Very sad.
