Diversity

Just received news that my nephew and his wife are going to adopt a brother and sister from Ghana. This is quite exciting news for a lot of reasons.

We are happy because this has been a long time in coming, with many false hopes raised. We are happy because all children deserve love and these children will add more of that to this family. We are also excited that the parents recognize that children are children no matter their color or ethnicity.

There will be challenges because parenting is a synonym with challenging. But there will also be rewards. Tremendous, humbling, and gratifying rewards. We wish them the best.
