Dedication

Many books begin with a dedication; an acknowledgement to those who supported the author in one way or another. As the author of this Blog, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge how much comfort I have found in the words, the prayers, the support and the concern that have been bestowed on Miya and I.  These words have given me so much peace and comfort¾I am continuously humbled.

You are a strong, brave woman and I admire you!     Co-worker

You are not alone. If you feel like sharing, I know this is not easy, or need an understanding shoulder, I am here.     Friend and Mother of adopted Child

You are amazing¾I can see why God choose you to be Miya’s mom. He knew exactly what Miya would need, and it was you.  Just incredible.     Friend

What a journey.  It must be therapeutic for you to journal the past and the progress.  Someday you will read it and say that was so long ago and what beautiful young women Miya has become.  Keep writing and thanks for sharing.     Friend

I’m so happy that Miya is making progress and that you both are on the right path to a healthier relationship and helping ensure she has the tools to meet her potential and be happy in life! That is the one wish we all share as parents, that we want our children to have happy, healthy, productive lives when they reach adulthood.              Co-worker

I had a number of inquires and thought I'd check and see if there's been any update on Miya.     Prayer group, Oregon Church
