Think before you speak...or askLeading up to the Olympics in China, the global media is focusing on the host country, you may watch documentaries, read newspaper articles and hear many conversations regarding the lifestyle, culture and history of China. There will be shows that focus on topics that are not suitable for our children to watch or hear about. My request is that you respect this, if you have questions about something you read or saw, please consider the subject and the participants in the converstion.
There are things that we can talk about, questions I can answer freely and those that should not be discussed amongst the little ones. Just because you know someone who has been to China, or have a relative or friend who has adopted a child, or watched a program on TV...don't assume that all topics are up for discussion, don't assume you know more than we do about a situation. Know that this is part of what makes our family, the past, the present and the future.

BRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the shit is going to fly during the Olympics. I know that news stations have been contacted by protest groups in China to video their protests. It may turn out to be a huge mess.
Amen, Sister.
AMEN!...it should be interesting how the stories will fly. As if we don't have enough comments to deal with!
