November is National Adoption Awareness Month. This is very special to me because my five siblings and I were adopted. When I was two months, my adopted parents (whom I call my parents) chose to bring me into their home and give me a beautiful life. I am here today because of them. Here are four more important reasons I choose to celebrate adoption.

My adopted parents taught me what love is.

As a child, my parents always reminded me that they loved me. They didn’t even have to say it. They showed it by creating fun family traditions such as annual vacations and holiday parties. They signed my siblings and me up for camp every summer. They dropped whatever they were doing to take care of us when we were sick. They rewarded us with money for getting good report cards.
