Regarding your comments on Leslie Lemke: no child is ever "given up" for adoption. It's not an easy decision for any birthmother in any circumstance. You "give up" a worn coat to the Salvation Army. You "give up" when you can't guess an answer. A child is "placed" for adoption or his birthparents made an "adoption plan". Please fast forward yourself into the 21st century and use more accurate and appropriate and sensitive language if you address human adoption in the future. Thank you.

Carol Burnett is the queen of raising one eyebrow, while keeping the other one *completely still*. Isn't most of what she does a highy evolved trait?

Also, my nephew, a decorated US Ranger Iraq war veteran, can gleek the heck out of that gland. Take that, Osama!
