“I think adoption becomes complicated whenever the biological parents a...” — James Haven Quote

I think adoption becomes complicated whenever the biological parents are alive.

Now that our mother has died, we're two orphans, Angie and I, so she has a deep understanding of the orphans she adopts.

The difference between my sister and I is that she is an extreme extrovert. She is right up front and tells you what she feels. I'm the quiet nobody-knows-me type.

When Mom died I couldn't stop crying, but both Angie and I really believe she's in a better place.

I have no memory at all of my mother shouting at me or at my sister. But I do have horrible memories of my father and the way he behaved. He was so tough on our mother.

I want to change the way people look at black ballerinas and how they think about adoption. I want to become a role model for girls like me.

Too many companies are reluctant to share technical information about threats with each other, and most open platforms and tools don't see widespread adoption. As a result, lots of us are reinventing the wheel and solving the same problems without realizing that our neighbors have already built great solutions.

I like to make people feel more comfortable, and it's great to have this platform and be able to shed light on adoption and how it's a beautiful thing, instead of being tiptoed around.

By a considerable margin, my family's largest-ever financial expenditure was the adoption of our two sons.
