Thank You

Well, apology email in hand from Teleflora, the major sponsor of the "Fav Mom" contest. Here is what it says:

Thank you for contacting Teleflora to share your thoughts about the "Teleflora
presents America's Favorite Mom" program. In response to your concerns, Teleflora
is immediately changing the name of our "Non-Mom" category to "Adopting Moms."
After closer examination, we can see how this may have been offensive to moms
who have adopted children -- moms who are indeed real moms to their children in
every sense of the word. In fact, many of us at Teleflora are "adopting" parents
ourselves, including our president and owner. The essence of this category still
focuses on a grandparent, neighbor, step mom, or mom to adopted or foster
children, each one raising and loving a child.This show of insensitivity on our
part was in no way intended and wedeeply apologize for any concern or distress
we may have caused. It was always our intent to salute and celebrate all moms.In
closing, all of us at Teleflora would like to offer our sincerestbest wishes to
all the many women throughout the world who have worked so hard and given so
much to earn the name "Mom."Sincerely,The America's Favorite Mom Team
