Nice story, but is there something significant to the phrase "this is what they got." Move on said the same thing about the kid who spoke on behalf of his mothers ("Two lesbians raised a baby and this is what they got.") Maybe it's me, but I just think it's such a weird thing to say.

It does sound odd because that phrase connotes something less than what was expected.

I don't care for its use here at all.

Great story though!

It's like they got that Russian psychopath kid they sent back C.O.D..

Right? I just think it's so weird that I thought there had to be significance if they've used it two different situations. I agree, it just sounds negative.

I think it's meant to be ironic...like setting up something negative, playing on the fears of gay parenting, and then WHAM, fooled you!

It doesn't really bother me.

I went to the Facebook page and tried to get some more info but couldn't really find anything.

It does sound negative, but it's in response to the whole negative right wing argument against homosexual couples adopting, so I'm just assuming it's co-opting that and turning it inside-out.
