Excellent article as always. I'm very glad to see I wasn't the only person who had these thoughts, amid all the praise for this young judge. As a mom myself, I always have respect for mothers, particularly those parenting multiple minor child (no easy feat!). But her curious language regarding her adopted children struck me immediately. I waited to hear more about them as people, not just about their physical capabilities or reactions. Thanks for putting this in perspective and allowing others to see this from a different angle.
