Comment on Adoption in Prime Time by Shelley Park

Also on Biggest Loser, Dolvett, one of the trainers is adopted. He has shared this with two contestants. One last year had 2 adopted children (after a painful failed adoption) and the one this year was adopted as a child and says she struggles with her birthday every year. I’m also finding it more in books. My favorite “juvenile fiction” one right now that addresses it is “Found” – my 6th grader loved this book. It handles a 13 year old’s adoption very respectfully, which is good for all kids. I’m excited to see adoption become a “new normal” for our country.

Comment on The Honest Truth About “Just Adopting” by Laurie Wright

Thank you for sharing Kristin. I remember being in Russia with you when Luke was coming home. You and Anthony are a blessing and inspiration to many! Yes, sometimes people can be insensitive. A lady told me, “Well you took the easy route.” Really? God knows what all we went through and I know that was part of his perfect plan to create our family with an unbreakable bond and love for each other!

Comment on The Honest Truth About “Just Adopting” by Rachel

I have been through rough pregnancies, labor, delivery, new borns, and am now on the ground in Ukraine “just adopting”. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. My heart is broken and restored at least daily, and my eyes are never dry. If someone told me I was “just adopting” I would probably not be as loving as you…
