An Adoption

I received an invitation to a very special event. It was and adoption celebration but not of the “ordinary kind” that comes to mind. This was an adult adoption.

My friend, who is single and has never had children, befriended a young woman and was a loving mentor to her for several years.

Then the decision was made that my friend would adopt this young woman and they would become a family.

I loved the wording of the invitation and I congratulate Angie – now mother, grandmother and mother-in-law, and Karyssa – a newly adopted daughter, mother and wife.

Karyssa, Hayden, Angie, Tyler.
