Time to Update Your Adoption Journal

Adoption Journal Update: 

Sunday I attended the ballet with my dad.  He was trained as an artist from the time he was in middle school receiving a scholarship to collage.  His passion for illustrating led to a career as a commercial artist creating artwork for nationally recognized brands. All three of his kids, myself included, have been touched by art.  Yesterday he cried as he watched his granddaughter dance the lead in Swan Lake.  She’s danced for 15 or her 18 years.  He sees in her the same passion for the arts he felt at that age.  She too has a scholarship.  A special bond.  A warm moment in time to witness. 

With Memorial Day approaching, think about your heritage, your family, and those special pieces of family history you want to share with a child.  Mention one in an adoption journal post – don’t forget to illustrate it with a photo!
