Fun to See Our Family on The Huffington Post!

After being interviewed by Corinne Lightweaver of RaiseAChild.US for this The Huffington Post article, I flashed back to when I first met our youngest, Marcus, in his foster home. When my social worker and I walked up to the door, Marcus--without knowing me or why I was there--ran up and gave me a hug. I took that as a sign... (I ignored "the sign" of my next visit, when I took him to a park and he cried for two hours uncontrollably.) There was also another child there at the foster home, Christian, who was about 11. He was a beautiful kid, loved basketball, and he asked if I was there to adopt Marcus. I told him that I might be, and it was clear to me that as happy as he was that Marcus might be adopted, he knew the chances for himself were slim. I walked away from that home happy that I'd just met the newest member of our family, but also sad that I couldn't manage to take Christian as well... Did you know that the number of LGBT people willing to fost-adopt children FAR OUTWEIGHS the number of kids in foster care??? Simply by making adoption by LGBT people across the U.S. legal, we could provide houses for all the kids in foster care. Astounding, and sad--for all the "Christians" in the world--that we can't do just that.Thanks to Corinne Lightweaver and Raise A Child, USA, for the chance to chat! Read the interview here!
