My oldest son was married last Saturday. To an amazing young woman. It was an magic day – full of remember-forever moments for our whole family. It was a day of joy for Tiff. A day of strength and brotherhood for Jonathon. A day of passage for Jon and I. A day to join with […]

The American Adoption Congress returned to Ohio for its annual conference, with an incredibly exciting backdrop: a clean bill passed […]
