Bridget Mccain The Wonder Child

Bridget McCain is the adopted daughter of John McCain and Cindy McCain. Bridgets adoption story is quite interesting. Cindy was visiting third world countries with Mother Teresa and other medical personnel. They happened to visit an orphanage in Bangladesh to try and help out the needy children. There were two little baby girls – one with a heart problem and the other with a severe cleft palate.

Cindy immediately decided to get both of them back to US with her. She was primarily concerned about their medical treatment and their survival. The McCains decided to adopt Bridget McCain and their close friends adopted the other little angel, Mickey.
Therefore, we see that it was primarily Cindys idea to adopt Bridget McCain. In fact John was not aware about this decision. It came as a bit of a shock to him. Cindy just returned and asked John to say hello to his new little daughter. But John is happy with the decision and a proud father. He says that Bridget has enriched their lives. She's a wonderful child, a complete part of our family and we love her, said John. Also, the other children of McCains accepted Bridget well.

Bridget McCain had become a sort of an issue during the campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination in South Carolina during the year 2000. John was criticized and was accused of having an affair with another woman. There was lot of prejudice and the reason for accusation was because Bridgets skin was darker.

Bridget McCain was called as illegitimate black daughter of McCain born to a prostitute. This had a strong effect on the conservative South Carolina republicans. John said, a lot of phone calls were made by people who said we should be very ashamed about her, about the color of her skin. Such hurtful and vile things were said about her. But thats a nasty side of politics and one should try to ignore it.

However, the African American organizations have a policy against interracial adoption in spite of there being an awful lot of African American children who could be adopted but this objection stands in the way. But now slowly this barrier is breaking down and people seem to be making progress. The McCains had to go through an extraordinary process, rather an intrusive process by the bureaucrats to adopt Bridget McCain. The adoption agency officials came to McCains home rifled through their drawers and even asked John about his sex life.

This was an insight into a sick girls life that was destined to die in an orphanage in Bangladesh. However, Bridget McCain proved to be a miracle child – blessed by Mother Teresa. Financialhealthzone
