My son and his wife recently adopted a most beautiful baby boy. The birthmother comes from a solid and wonderful family. She was a high school senior with firm plans for her future which did not , at this time, include raising a newborn. She became pregnant and, with incredible family support, opted to carry the child to a term delivery. Through the grace of God and good fortune, my son and his wife became the adoptive parents. When I hold this miracle in my arms I think of how easy and tragic another "choice" could have been for this high school senior.

If I ever make it to Crispers please humor me while I pull out picture after picture of our first grandchild.
