Our Adoption Story

Keeping open to the idea of raising more children led me naturally to consider adoption. Seeds for this had been planted many years before when my dear friend Glenn had mentioned that if each of us just would look after one other person who was in need, a homeless person or a child needing a home, the problem would be solved. I could never let go of that.

Our journey down this road started in earnest in the summer of 2007 when my son Felix fell out of a tree and nearly died. He didn't, though, and came to have an amazing recovery. Emerging from that dance with life and death made me grateful beyond measure, and feeling that dedicating my life to being of service in whatever ways i could was the best course for me, the best way to honor the gifts that had come our way.
