Cindy brings daughter Bridget to the Convention. She is singled out to discuss adoption.

Guess, they could pull her out of school for this.....even though the People Magazine cover was too difficult to coordinate. :eyes:

2. And she will be cut out of the camera shots......
Folks were looking at her like the way some people look at a handicapp person; barely.

3. Oh...I see, it has to do with adoption. That's why she's there.
How thoughtful!

5. HuH?
I thought that Bridget wanted a low profile, which was why she wasn't involved with the People photo shoot. I'm not watching their convention, but I saw some blurb about a film on Bridget's adoption. So now it's fine to exploit her...um...coordinate her? <sigh>

7. That's exactly what this is. She will be reminded for the rest of her life
that her adopted parents performed charitable service in adopting her. Isn't she fortunate? :puke:

10. That was just plain odd. The gal on stage didn't talk.......
her statement was read by her adopted father while she looked at him with this loving look...like she doesn't speak English or something.

11. Didn't she have a cleft palatte?
Maybe she has a speaking impediment that she'd rather not share with America.

13. I thought she was really beautiful...
was just waiting for her to speak, I'm assuming that the cleft palate was fixed long ago...

12. So how exactly do the McLames talk about the beauty of adoption
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 08:56 PM by Raineyb
by leaving the country to find a child to adopt while ignoring the millions of children looking to be adopted in this country?

14. If they're so pro-adoption
Why is Bristol Palin being lauded for keeping her baby?
