Discovering My Path After High School
Graduating from high school felt less like an ending and more like a doorway opening into a much larger, unseen world. Even then, I sensed that my path would not be entirely conventional.

Adopting Tonya from Korea in the 70’s
We began our journey toward you long before we knew your name. Before there were stacks of papers, interviews, and long nights waiting for news from across the ocean, there were years of quiet hopes and heartbreak. I had dreamed of holding a child in my arms, of lullabies in the dark, and tiny hands
