I am thankful that I was born and I am thankful for the family that raised me. You see, 28 years ago tomorrow I was born to a 15 year old child, and given to a family who desperately wanted to raise a little girl. There may have been many times that were trying, but in the end, we became a family.
I mention all of this because I was sent a new book on adoption. It was touching, illuminating. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has been touched by adoption.
The book is Adopted Ed by Darren Warren. I'll admit to you, some of the rhymes were a bit forced, but the illustrations are adorable. The book was written with heart and it shows.
About Me
- Miss Montez
- There are two little girls who call me mama. Well, neither of them can actually say 'mama', but if they could it would be in my direction. They are wonderful and have changed my life in the most amazing way. My challenge is to do everything possible to show them that they are loved, that they are the most important thing in my life, to help them grow up to be happy, and healthy, and beautiful as I know they could and should be. I am building my life around them and could not ask for anything more.
