In Maryland, a family consisting of two loving fathers and their four adopted children featured in the latest edition of American Girl magazine. This remarkable family has also founded a charity called Comfort Cases, which provides foster children with travel bags filled with essential items. One of the fathers reflects on a poignant moment when their daughter Lily first arrived, carrying her belongings in a trash bag. They took her out to shop, and she chose a beautiful princess nightgown.
Lily, now 11, was thrilled to see her family represented in the magazine until she learned that a group was calling for a boycott of the issue. This group, known as One Million Moms, is notorious for targeting various forms of media that they find objectionable. Their latest grievance? A story highlighting a family with two gay dads who have opened their hearts to foster children and started a charity to support others in need.
One Million Moms expressed their discontent with American Girl, stating they were upset about the portrayal of a same-sex couple in the November/December 2015 issue. They claimed that the magazine should have selected a different child to feature, arguing it could have remained “neutral” in the ongoing cultural debates. They even called for a boycott, claiming they support adoption and caring for orphans based on biblical teachings.
However, this rhetoric masks their lack of real contributions to the cause they profess to support. Unlike these two fathers, who actively make a difference in the lives of children, the organization seems more focused on voicing complaints than taking meaningful action.
Rob and Mark, the dads, had something to say to the group, urging them to focus on helping the 364,000 kids in foster care rather than criticizing their family. They encouraged One Million Moms to volunteer at local foster care agencies instead. Their daughter Lily also had a straightforward message for the critics: “This is none of your business.” She certainly encapsulated the essence of the situation.

In summary, an 11-year-old girl, daughter of a couple committed to fostering and charity work, bravely confronted critics from One Million Moms, reminding them that their family life is none of their concern. Instead of spreading negativity, she and her dads encourage others to focus on making a positive impact in the lives of children in need.
