Dallas, TX Adoption Story

Category: Families and adoptees

Dallas, TX

I am an adoptee and if it was not for my loving parents I don't know where I would be. There have been days when I felt ashamed of who I was because I didn't know who I was. Unlike some adoptive kids who have an idea I was adopted as a small child and don't have a clue who my biological family is. I thank God everyday for this journey I've been on and realize now that I am a special person because God set aside this journey for a few of us and never takes his hand off us! I now have two biological children of my own and the thing I missed the most God has fullfilled because I have been with them from the birth to my daughter graduating from high school to my son sprouting to almost 6 feet at 12 years old. I hope to be a major part and advocate for adoption in America!
