What an inspiring story and beautiful family! Like your son I am a very lucky person. 61 years ago my parents adopted me through Catholic Charities. At the time babies were kept until 6 weeks old before being released to the potential parents. The nuns at St. Ann's called my mom on Christmas eve morning and said, "Your little girl is ready to go today, but we can keep her until after the 1st of the year if you're not ready". Mama replied, "Yeah right, Sister" or something to that effect. Daddy was duck hunting; 4 of his hunting buddies formed a posse and went to the duck blind to deliver the message.
Their good friends drove them to Shreveport because Daddy was too nervous to drive. On the way they stopped at Sears in Alex to buy girl baby clothes. Mom was never the most organized person in the world but she could make some mean Halloween costumes, was an awesome class mom, and was always "down" with a last minute slumber party. They brought me home Christmas eve 1958. The end. PS My husband caught me chopping onions while watching your wonderful video.

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your story. As a mother of an adopted child, it always makes my heart smile to hear from adults who were adopted into a loving home. I’ve met so many amazing families in person and online who came together through adoption and their experiences are so encouraging and uplifting.
PS I chopped a few onions reading your post. I felt your mom’s joy receiving that phone call and know how nervous they were on that drive!
