When I began teaching again in 2011 I met a sweet, caring
Elementary PE Teacher. She and her husband were raising money to adopt from
Ghana. The process for this adoption is insane, but these two were ready for
the task. I have been so impressed by their positivity and the love that they
were ready to give to a child that they hadn’t even met yet. You can read more
about their story on their official site

They have since met their sweet daughter and they asked me to draw a 16"x20" portrait of
the beauty that they will be bringing home very soon.
