One Million Moms Criticizes 'American Girl' Dolls For Featuring Two Dads in Magazine

The One Million Moms activist group is reportedly protesting the American Girl doll company for featuring a family with same-sex parents in their recently-released magazine.

The conservative advocacy group announced via its website this week that it was "extremely disappointed" in the doll company after it published an article in its "American Girl" magazine that highlighted same-sex couple Rob and Reece Scheer, who work with their adopted daughter Amaya to provide school supplies, toys and activities to foster children in Washington, D.C. and Virginia.

"[One Million Moms] supports adoption and taking care of orphans as we are biblically instructed to do in Psalm 82:3, but American Girl could have focused the article on the child and not about the parents since it is a magazine for children. The magazine also could have chosen another child to write about and remained neutral in the culture war," the activist group states on its website.

"American Girl is attempting to desensitize our youth by featuring a family with two dads. If your child has not seen this yet, then be careful she is not exposed and can avoid a premature conversation she is far too young to understand," the group adds.

The Scheer family has responded to the criticism, with Rob telling Fox 5 DC: "This is our family and it works for us."

"We have four amazing kids that we adopted out of foster care. These are four kids that have fulfilled our life more than we ever thought," Rob added. 

"The 'Million Moms,' I say to them - go to your local foster care agency. Those kids really could use your help and not worry about the Sheer family," Rob added.
