So today is the 10Th National Adoption Day here in the USA. We want to encourage all People to consider fostercare & Adoption if there is room in your life and home for a child. There are 129,000 children that might only be dreaming of a permanent family to call their own. We want
to encourage people in the GLBTQ community to think about the idea of adoption.

Please visit our families adoption page to find out where your state stands on GLBTQ Adoption laws.

Video and pictures of our first few days with our new daughter in China.We adopted Norah from China’s waiting child program just before she turned four. She is profoundly deaf, and we are teaching her to sign, as well as taking her to speech therapy. The special needs / waiting child has blessed our family. this little girl is defiantly a bright spot in our lives. We don’t know if she will ever be able to talk with her voice, only time will tell. Still as you can see she has know problem getting her point across to her mom and dad. You are perfect to us Dear Norah.
Love DAD
