Calling All Real Moms

Posted: March 19, 2007 at 7:47 pm

I’m a Real Mom. Are you a Real Mom?

Participate in the meme. But don’t be a jerk about it in the process. Degrading someone else just to uplift your own senese of being accomplishes nothing in broadening minds and helping others accept our realities. Show your reality, don’t negate someone else’s reality.

In short: be real.

(And for those of you missing that, yeah, I posted a totally adoption related post, heavy and full of controversy, on the family blog. Craziness up in here! Must be the rain.)
