Here is an excerpt from Saddleback Civil Forum which, Pastor Rick Warren hosted both Democratic candidate Barack Obama and his Republican rival John McCain on Saturday night (August 16).

"We also need to make adoption a lot easier in this country," Senator McCain said. "That's why so many people now go to other countries to adopt children."

Senator McCain then explained how he and his wife Cindy had an adopted daughter. He told how his wife, Mrs. Cindy McCain had gone to Dhaka, in Bangladesh, 17 years ago to visit with Mother Theresa. He said that Mother Theresa's nuns gave her two little baby girls that were not going to live, if they stayed in that environment.

"Cindy came home. I met her at the airport and she showed me this 5 week old baby and said, 'meet your new daughter.' Today she is 17 and our life is blessed," Senator McCain said.
