Recently I signed a proclamation recognizing November as Adoption Month.

I want to thank the Carman family for joining us in my office to mark the occasion and thank all families who, like the Carman family, have taken the brave, and loving step to create or build their family through adoption.

It's Halloween week! 🎃

Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash.

Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️
