On father’s day we hosted a graduation open house for my youngest and her best friend and soon to be college roommate, Maddy. We didn’t really think about it being father’s day when the girls picked that date. Yesterday morning at dawn I ...walked around our yard looking at the flowers and reflecting on the day and its place in my life as a parent. Maddy calls me Daddy Phelps. She was placed with her parents for adoption as an infant. She’s been in our life since Kindergarten. Placed for adoption by a mother who was overwhelmed, Maddy has flourished as a person and student. She goes to college with a declared double major, a scholarship, and the support of two loving parents. Adoption is a blessing, a priceless gift, a selfless act that has touched our family and our hearts.
