I need a cheat sheet to tell me when opinions can be offered on news stories and when they can't. I'm getting confused. While I would never support the government telling Mary Cheney that she can not have a baby, hell I love babies both the born and unborn variety, I certainly think it is apropos to have an opinion on whether or not Heather is better off with two Mommies or one Mommy and one Daddy.
Merry Christmas amigo.
My neighbor happens to be a lesbian single mother. Not a situation that either I or my wife approve of. But (here's the but) the woman is a darn good kid and the boy she's adopted is just that, a real boy out in the yard with a toy backhoe digging and building, playing soccer with the other kids and he seems to be a happy kid.
There's no clamor coming from over there, there are no police interventions for abuse or loud parties, etc. You'd never even guess that the woman is a lesbian unless you took the time to investigate. My wife and I think that at least this adopted child has a quiet, stable, happy home with a woman who wants him and cares for him and doesn't have to grow up in an orphanage.
Of course the kid, any kid for that matter, is better off with a mom and dad and it breaks my heart to see this situation being "mainstreamed". In the meantime and in our less than perfect world, I'm glad some one is raising this lad with love and affection.
John, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
