A Message from Adoptee

by Marina Lumsden, Yahoo Contributor

I was adopted from Colombia when I was 5 months old, and I can honestly say that at that moment I became blessed. My parents provided me with the unconditional love, guidance, structure, and support that a child needs. I am forever grateful to them. Being adopted does not mean that you were unwanted; it means that you are so special that you were chosen.

Please take a moment and check out MN ADOPT, It is an amazing program sponsored by the Department of Human Services through the Minnesota Adoption Resource Network (MARN), a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization. MN ADOPT is dedicated to supporting and sustaining the families who adopt Minnesota Waiting Children by providing a wide-range of services.
