November is National Adoption Month
National Adoption Month acknowledges and celebrates adoptive and foster families that help create safe and supportive homes and families for children.
In November of 2020, my wife Libby and I made the decision to expand our family through adoption. Now, two years later, we celebrate three months with our daughter Penelope and we couldn't be happier. The adoption process quickly changed any assumptions we previously had and provided us with much insight as to the many personal, emotional, and legal obstacles involved. Our story is just one of a million ways that a family can be created.
Artwork and Donations
For the remainder of the month of November, 30% of all sales of my work will be donated in your name to The Barker Adoption Foundation, an adoption nonprofit. Barker has been serving my area for the past 77 years, placing more than 8,000 children into the welcoming arms of adoptive parents and providing counseling and related support services to more than 30,000 women and families who are considering placing a child up for adoption. Their compassionate services and inclusivity align with the values important to me.
