I feel badly for the child, as most of you do. Such a blatant display of hatred. The only positive thing I can relate to this situation, is that at least their feelings are out in the open and give ample warning to whoever's paths they might cross.

There was a prior comment I don't agree with. A diverse family is probably a very colorful one, full of different traditions and customs. I'm sure it's lovely. That being said....

I am from a family of which most are of Greek Orthodox belief, or have converted to it during marriage. It is anything but BORING, as the previous poster mentioned. Our traditions are exquisite and STRONG. There is MUCH to say about a belief that hasn't changed in thousands of years and I am very proud of my family. I don't hate anyone else's beliefs, I just happen to love mine.

Whether you are diverse, or are not, there is no excuse for what these people stand for. Morality and respect is international and it's something they seem to lack.

Now the parents are sorry for all the attention they got over this, and are boo-hooing to the press. He sais he is "starting to believe the Holocost happened" and will not consider changing the child's name.

I would imagine that this man is just looking for a lawsuit to file.

But, I would have taken that order only if the child was present, then asked for more specifics about the name and who he was named after.
Then I would have told him about my dear friend, my mentor, who was my tailoring teacher- a holocaust survivor and a hero.

I would have told him about horrible atrocities that was overseen by Adolf Hilter and the Nazi regime. Millions of lives extinguished and even more families utterly destroyed by one thing- hate.
Those that survived lived with the pain of the memories, survivor's guilt, and their very bodies relive those events on a regular basis. But they lived, and have given living testimony to what actually happened in those death camps.

I would have told this innocent little boy about the good and kind man who survived the treachery of Adolf Hitler and his evil regime. And then I would have wished him a Happy Birthday and ask him to never forget what I told him.

Free speech can go both ways.
And if the father wanted to file a lawsuit against me, I would tell him to Bring in On!!

Hmmmmm, wouldn't it be great if a judge ordered the parents to change names with the kids?

The children would have the "normal" names of Heath, Deborah, and whatever the "parents" have as middle names. Then the "parents" can go through life, saddled with those horrible names. I can just see it on a job application! Oh, wait! I forgot the "parents" CAN'T work! Silly me!!!!

I'm tellin ya, people, the kids will be on Fox News in 12 years. After they have gone on a shooting spree.

check out the site How many of me.com. apparently 1530 people in the us have the name adolf . and two are named adolf campbell, go think

it is a cool site to check out when looking for baby names.
and no i would not make the cake...my dad and all my uncles fought against Hitler in
WWII and this family is just out looking for attention.

I support the bakery that refused the order....
The parents are the big morons, not the bakery. I wonder if they are a family of Nazis. Sounds like they are war criminals.

These parents just had their children removed from the home by family services.

You can see the story here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28655143/?GT1=43001

At least someone is looking out for the best interest of these children.

Here's a followup on foxnews.com's homepage

I really feel sorry for that poor child. I can understand why the parents would be upset, but what did they expect naming their child that and then asking the store to put his full name on the cake when a simple "Happy Birthday Adolf" would have sufficed. If I was the manager or owner of that store I would have done the same thing and I would have supported whichever staff members decision it was to say, no I'm sorry we won't do that.

I just heard this on the news. Yes, these parents are disgusting "human" beings, are are what I would call white trash. But, what right does the state have to take away a child over a name? NONE! You can name your child whatever you want. Look at Nicholas Cage-his kid's name is Pilot Inspektor. That is a terrible name, but nothing you can remove the child for.

Was there any physical or sexual abuse? Any drug usage in the home? Any neglect? CPS is overloaded with real cases of sexual abuse, physical abuse, meth head parents. Why are they wasting time on a kid with a bad name?

You all need to realize that if your child can be taken away for a name, they can be taken away for just about anything. I think this is a violation of rights, and who knows what else they will start taking kids away for.

I don't think they just took the kids away over a name. I think there should be a law that says idiots can't breed, but then, that's pandora's box we'd be opening.

All we can do is trust someone is looking out for these kids now.

Wow, this is a sad case...I can imagine what those kids will go through in school.
Believe it or not, in my country (Mexico) you can NOT give your kids an odd or a nick name. The name has to be a 'legal/proper name' meaning that it should be Robert not Rob....Rosa not Rosie and so forth. If you come up with something like 'Pilot Inspektor' they won't allow you and you'll have to pick from a list of proper names.

I think i would have said we can put adolf but not hitler, if they could at least come to that agreement then everything would be solved. I agree dumb name, but if thats what they chose thats what they chose (lets not forget the celebrities these days are naming kids after fruits and sh*t) ok well i say should have come to agreement on just adolf and maybe just a simple plain cake that yes they could purchase icing and add the inscription themselves. kind of sad. I worked at babies r us for years and whenever i had issues like this where i couldn't do something the way a customer wanted it i found an alternative for them... everyone was happy!

These parents are obviously troublemakers. Shame on them for subjecting their innocent child to their racist beliefs so directly. What morons! Hopefully this child will rise above his parents demented obsession. And good point made about putting the entire name on a cake, who does that? They are just trying to stir sh*t.

MSNBC is the home page on my computer. Yesterday they had a story about the three children in this family being removed from the home by the state. No reason made public at the time.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

I think it probably had to do with something else, that got dragged into the spotlight when the store refused to put his name on a cake.
