Our adoption agency, CCAI asked if we would like to be a host family for their annual "Adopt Teen" conference. It is a conference for teens who have been adopted from China to come to Denver and spend the weekend with other kids just like them. We were honored to be a host family and had a great time getting to know Jo and Marianne. These two young ladies were absolutely amazing.... sweet, articulate and polite. They were so candid and open about how they feel about their adoptive families and how they feel lucky to have been adopted by loving parents. I made sure to tell them, their families are lucky too to have them as their daughters. These girls really impressed Jeff and I and we can hope that our Lucy views her life and circumstances the way they do. We hope to host them again next year.
