Adoption

I'm watching the Oprah show airing today, January 25, 2007. A segment with a woman named Jenna is on my TV upset because she cannot bear children. I hear this story very often, and am sympathetic, yet have one burning question, What about adoption? Jenna briefly mentioned it was an option in the future, but what about now? I was adopted at birth and could not have had a better life or more loving parents. It pains me that there are 1000's of kids out there without homes or parents and the topic of adoption is rarely talked about. I think adoption needs to be brought out to the front of society. I wonder why Oprah did not delve deeper into adoption other than it wasn't the main show topic. Maybe there needs to be a show about adoption choices with interviews of parents and children of adopted families? The horror stories are out there, however, the empowering and uplifting stories outweigh them and, I feel, it's time to share.

Crying at the commercials

Every now and again there is a commercial ("spot" in the business terminology) that moves me beyond tears and almost into hysterics. I'm a sap, we all know, but there are commercials that are ridiculously emotional. I plan to share some with you all. Here is the first one.

New favorite song.

I'm not a big fan, but this song is unbelievable.
