 <title>It&#039;s good to see a sober environment for our youth</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/918#comment-19908</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I think its important to be doing through background checks and drug screening of the volunteers working with today&#039;s youth. A healthy environment is what these kids need to grow and prosper. Having a group like this is key to allowing them to grow in a hate free environment. There are other groups around that also produce a hate free environment. &lt;a href=&quot;http://sgpenchala.blogspot.com/2007/08/narconon-vista-bay-drug-rehab.html&quot;&gt;Narconon Vista Bay&lt;/a&gt; is one of them.  &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Bi National debacle</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/490#comment-2928</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I adopted our first daughter from an orphanage in Vietnam when she was a baby. I share custody with my ex - we have a great co-parenting arrangement and live mere blocks from each other.  This daughter is now 11 and has known my current partner since she was four years of age.  My current partner and I are CA domestic partners and we inseminated and had our baby girl.  California law gave me, the non-bio mom a right to be on the birth certificate, recognized  automatically as a legal parent, by virtue of our DP status.  So now we have our family - of four;  two moms and two daughters and are plagued by the anomaly of State legal recognition and federal invalidation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My DP is from abroad and her working visa will soon expire.  How dare O&#039;Reilly place me and my babies at a disadvantage for those few that will abuse the system; and it will be no different to the few heterosexuals that have abused the system for years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My family will be torn apart- because I cannot petition for my partner.  I will be faced with my sophie&#039;s choice.  First daughter cannot leave the State and my second daughter will have to leave with my partner, because she is the bio mom and I would never separate them.  Imagine my kids and I are American citizens and we have no rights to stay as a unit and keep together in our own country- the great America - so concerned about human rights in the rest of the world?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will be like a death for us. the sisters adore each other- if you are a parent and you have a family, close your eyes and imagine that this is you- because we are the same as you; four people who love and depend on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
So to O&#039;Reilly et al, I guess it is okay for those privileged enough to have marriage and the rights that go with it, to go to the alter and endure a three day marriage or a two year marriage or whatever, but my family must be torn apart with no rights because you ‘Mr. O ‘ fear that people may abuse the system. I challenge you to have real families such as mine on your show and to repeat what you &quot;OPINE&quot; to my face.&lt;/p&gt;
