2 Decatur couples become parents halfway around world

Addie Lu will make a lot of decisions about her life in America.

But her adoptive parents have already decided that she will be an Alabama fan. And although she's only 27 months old, she appears to be OK with it.

"Say 'Roll Tide,' " proud father and Morgan County Economic Development Authority President Jeremy Nails begged. "Come on Addie. Say 'Roll Tide' for Papa."

Clutching her mother's arm, Addie rolled her brown eyes, pointed in the direction of Papa, smiled and quickly said: "Waa Tide."

"Oh yes, she's an Alabama fan," Papa said

*Sigh* Brainwashing the kid already :-)
