    I don't live so far from Atlanta. Do you think she would be my friend in real life?

    That was a great interview...

    She's my Facebook friend (and if she'll be my friend, i'm certain she'll be your's). She is just so reasonable and honest in what she says, I don't know how anyone could argue with it.

    "It's just outsiders who look on and judge disapprovingly, but then they don't go on to adopt the neighborhood children, right? ..."

    This is so true. That is my new credo to all those who ask me why I don't adopt from the U.S.

    I also liked when she said that Madonna steps into the breach and people are all over her. It's so sad how everyone thrusts their opinions on others so harshly.

    MFG is fab.

    Thanks for this link to the interview. She did an amazing job answering the questions - no fluff, just direct, poignant truth.

    Well said, MFG, and she speaks from such a position of moral authority on this subject. It's not self-serving, it's just honest, the facts, which she knows so well.

    Thanks so much for posting this, Julie.
