Today I’ve been swept away in my own reflections of the events from the last two years surrounding our daughter’s adoption story...

All around the country there are men and women who care about changing the perception of adoption! They're not all birth mothers, adoptive parents or adoptees though they still care. They're people just like Grace...

Today you are 13… a teenager! Wow… I imagine what you’re like… What kind of young man you are becoming…

March 15, 1998 you became a part of your new family. This date holds so much more significance for me than your birthday, or mother’s day, or all the days you are in my heart and on my mind.
