Deborah's - The Adoption Alliance

About me:
I come from a large family, including four brothers. I was born in Canada, but grew up here, in the United States.
We are a very close knit family. Throughout our childhood we were raised with strong family values and were
taught the importance of supporting one another through life’s trials and tribulations. One of the many adages my
mother would often repeat to us growing up is that “the greatest worth we have on this earth is our worth to one
another.” I truly believe in that with all my heart and try to live by her words in all areas of my life.
My mother was the ‘pillar’ of our family, and was not only fully devoted to us as a mother, but taught us to be
devoted to one another. We lost her four years ago, but her spirit, her wisdom, and love live on in all of us.
She has given me strong family values and taught me unwavering maternal instincts.
