いやぁ〜〜〜、バイデン・ファミリーとは大違いだわ〜。天と地の差ですね。。。もちろん、✨天✨は、Amy Coney Barrett さんの御家族ですよ。

７人のお子さんの内２人は、中部アメリカのハイチ から養子に迎えられたお子さんです。そして、末っ子の男の子はダウン症との事です。みなさん自然で、とても素敵な笑顔😊ですね。見てると、なんだかこちらまで幸せな気分になる写真です。

Amy Coney Barrett さんは妊娠中、お医者さんに、赤ちゃんがダウン症と知らされましたが、中絶することはしませんでした。なかなかできることではありません…

旦那さんがまた、とても協力的で素晴らしい方のようです。まるで、良きアメリカのホームドラマのようなお話ですが、それだけではありません。この方は、超〜！エリートの、スーパー・ママでもあるのです。本当にビックリです。

エイミーさんと、ご両親・兄弟姉妹との写真👇 がありますが、そちらも９人家族のようですね〜。ご実家も９人、結婚されて今も９人、最高判事も９人。もしかして…エイミーさんのラッキー・ナンバーは「９」なのかもしれませんね🎶🎶🎶🐧

Amy Coney Barrett thanks her husband and calls their seven children her 'greatest joy' as she prepares to become the first mom with school-age kids to serve on the Supreme Court if confirmed.
President Trump announced in the Rose Garden of the White House his decision to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. 
Barrett was accompanied by her husband Jesse and her seven children.
She told how in recent months she had become a teacher to their kids due to lockdown, but is also 'a carpool driver and birthday party planner'.
The president has the votes in the Senate to push his Supreme Court pick through, but move is controversial due to proximity of the 2020 election.
Barrett's addition to the court would shift the ideological balance of it sharply to the right, giving conservatives a 6-3 majority.
Barrett, 48, could make history of her own, becoming the first mother of school-aged children to serve on the Supreme Court.
Barrett is a member of a tightly knit Christian group called People of Praise.
The religious group inspired the hit TV show The Handmaid's Tale, which depicts a dystopian world where women are oppressed. 

・President Donald Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme     Court on Saturday afternoon.

・Barrett, 48, a married mother to seven and a former clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, said she was 'truly humbled' by the nomination.

・If confirmed Justice Barrett will make history as the first mother of school-age children to ever serve on the Supreme Court.

・Barrett took the time to introduce her husband and seven children, who were seated in the audience, joking that it mades sense that Trump was nominating her to join a bench of nine justices.

・'As it happens, I'm used to being in a group of nine: my family,' Barrett said. 👍

“ まぁ！また９人グループね♪” … ご夫妻＆７人のお子さんで９人ってことですね。👉「これにより最高裁判事9人のうち6人が保守派になる。」…こちらでも９人！

'Our family includes me; my husband, Jesse; Emma; Vivian; Tess; John Peter; Liam; Juliet; and Benjamin,' she explained.

Among Barrett's children, she has five biological and two who were adopted from Haiti.

Barrett's youngest biological son, Benjamin, has special needs after being born with Down Syndrome.

Barrett went on to tell the audience that in addition to being federal judge, she wears several other hats: that of carpool driver, birthday party planner, and recently, a teacher, as her children attended school remotely due to the pandemic.

'Our children obviously make our life very full. While I am a judge, I'm better known back home as a room parent, car pool driver and birthday party planner. When schools went remote last spring, I tried on another hat. Jesse and I became co-principals of the Barrett e-learning academy. And yes, the list of enrolled students was a very long one. Our children are my greatest joy, even though they deprive me of any reasonable amount of sleep,' she said.

She revealed how her marriage of 21 years to husband, Jesse, was the bedrock of their relationship to provide their children the best upbringing possible, but noted that her kids believe him to be the better cook.

'At the start of our marriage, I imagined that we would run our household as partners. As it has turned out, Jesse does far more than his share of the work. To my chagrin, I learned at dinner recently that my children consider him to be the better cook. For 21 years, Jesse has asked me every single morning what he can do for me that day. And though I almost always say, 'Nothing,' he still finds ways to take things off my plate. And that's not because he has a lot of free time. He has a busy law practice. It is because he is a superb and generous husband, and I am very fortunate,' Barrett said.
