Some other wonderful person has already posted on this, but I can't remember who, and I can't find her again. However, I have decided to post on the same subject because not everyone is going to read her blog and the more people we reach the better.
I received an e-mail today that sent me to Townhall.com
There is an article explaining how American Girls have started selling a product that supports abortion and much more. Not just for adults but for young girls. Please take a look at this article.
Both of my girls have American Girl dolls. Girl 1, at the age of 5-8, saved her money for three years to buy Addy. She would stare wistfully at the catalog, longing for the day she could own that beautiful doll. Girl 1 is a redhead, (you can see her own blog here,) but she just loved Addy. I thought it was great that she wanted a black doll, not because she could see beyond the doll being black, but because she could see how beautiful Addy was BECAUSE she was black.
Girl 2 has Samantha. She saved her money for her doll as well. Both Girls have enjoyed playing with their dolls. They still get a thrill out of receiving the American Girl catalog to see what is new.
I hope everyone will make an informed decision from what they learn.
