I really hope Lily receives a real reply back. <br /><br />As for health insurance we have been very fortunate since DH is self employed as well. I might admit to holding my breath about it all though.

As I admitted in this post, I am defini...Hi Sammy,<br /><br />As I admitted in this post, I am definitely not politically savvy. But, I will say for sure that I am more concerned that my children learn how to think and learn how to love (despite differences) than that they get every detail right. We are absolutely clear that abortion is wrong (Lily also is clear that that's the case), but we don't want her (or ourselves) to judge a person's heart. That's a job only for our Savior, and He's definitely the best one for the job!<br /><br />I am not an Obama supporter, but I am most definitely not a Republican, either. Political views don't scare me, because I know the ONE who has defeated the true enemy and has given us life everlasting. If my daughter can learn to love like Jesus loved, then my husband and I have been successful as parents. Love, afterall, is the most powerful force in the universe. <br /><br />Much love and grace and blessing to you!<br />Sarah Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455698547207302964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013343257150935856.post-42181528741513226872012-09-12T16:28:11.821-06:002012-09-12T16:28:11.821-06:00Hi Wendy,

Our state has health-care coverage, so that's what he's on right now. We are so grateful for it, but find it ironic that we can't buy health insurance for him.<br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455698547207302964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013343257150935856.post-34045280204410644902012-09-12T16:08:36.120-06:002012-09-12T16:08:36.120-06:00That's a very thoughtful letter for one so you...That's a very thoughtful letter for one so young. Great that you're teaching him to think about all sides. However, there are many, many things Obama is doing that scares me to death and his stand on abortion is only one of them.

On a side note, why can't your child who was adopted have health insurance or what that in China? The whole health care reform scares me for my daughter we adopted from China. Thankfully, she is not sick and we have insurance now for her.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720217376639469749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013343257150935856.post-52617581733752055942012-09-11T06:36:07.852-06:002012-09-11T06:36:07.852-06:00WAY to go Lily!

The world would be so much more loving, caring, and civil if people looked at politics with such a loving eye. As a side note, I wrote three letters to President Reagan back in the day (I remember that at least one of them was about Social Security, out of concern for my grandma), and I was frustrated about getting form letters back. Once they sent me a kids' book about the White House, which helped a little, but it still wasn't as good as getting a personalized response. Here's hoping that Lily hears back from President Obama!Julie Coleman, Freelance Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923595386766147743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013343257150935856.post-40446465205275100352012-09-07T20:05:31.215-06:002012-09-07T20:05:31.215-06:00Wow!!!

I love how you've explained some of the workings of politics to her, and are able to teach respect for those in leadership even when there are some things (in both parties) that you don't agree with. In this election season, I sure wish I saw more things like this . . .
