The beauty of adoption

My brother-in-law (Eric's brother) was adopted into the Groff family when he was eight years old from Korea. There has never been a distinction of a birth child versus adopted child in the Groff family.

Marty spent several years looking for his birth family and three years ago found them. He returned to Korea several times and this week his birth mother and extended family came to Portland. All eight of them!

Last night we met as one big family and it was awesome. It was the ideal adoption situation. Two families came together with happiness, joy and appreciation. The warmth and love that surrounded the room was surreal. I cannot imagine a better scenario than having two moms and the answers an adoptee must want. I can only hope Pearl is as lucky.
