In Opinion:

In a world that feels like it’s falling apart, healthy adoptive families remind us that the ties binding us together are stronger than the differences trying to tear us apart.

“In a world that feels like it falling apart, healthy adoptive families remind us that the ties binding us together are stronger than the differences trying to tear us apart. Culturally and ethnically diverse families aren’t just breaking molds- they’re shattering them, creating spaces where every story is not only welcomed but celebrated.”

We are so grateful for Barry’s voice and his leadership in this space. @iambarryfarmer @virginianpilot
