On a personal note, I’m deeply passionate about promoting “older child adoption.” In 2018, my husband and I welcomed our first child into our lives: 1 13-yr-old girl from the U.S. foster care system. She’s brought immeasurable joy and purpose into our lives, proving that every child deserves a loving home, no matter the age. Sure, some folks thought we were a bit crazy for adopting a teenager, but if that’s crazy count me in.
