My Journey From Foster Care to Adoption

How I met my beautiful Mother. And what made us so close.
---
This story honors my late Mother, Katherine, who passed away in 2005.
It's also in honor of every person that has ever dealt with or is dealing with the loss of a parent. I don't have all or most of the answers, but I do live by an ethos: "Our vulnerability could be someone else's next breath."
Everyone's story is different. I pray that you can find love within your own.
