Hooray for Non-Moms!


Well, in the past 10 minutes the website for the contest has changed. Instead of a Non-Mom category, it is appropriately titled "The Adopting Mom". Next year, let's just skip the category entirely, since a mom is a mom, and actually focus on a great "non-mom" sector - those fantastic women (and men) who serve as mentors, leaders, Big Sisters, social workers, teachers and more - impacting our children every day.
Thanks TODAYShow and NBC. However - if someone had half a brain in going through the writing, editing, legal approval and other steps, this should have been avoided. How did this get past so many eyes without thinking that this might be an issue? Heaven sakes - Al Roker - where were you?? You are an adoptive parent, and I shudder to think that you would be a Non-Dad without causing pause!

I am glad to see that they changed the category title. This was very upsetting to me. Great job to all of the families who held NBC accountable!
