{We love you.}
Having grown up in a fairly homogenized neighborhood as a child, and even to a certain extent also in college, I had not been exposed to a very diverse community of people. People of color or other religions were not in any sort of acceptable abundance in my life. Regardless of this, as a parent, I have made every possible effort to teach my family to accept people for who they are and not what they look like. We are all exactly the same on the inside, and it was so important to me that I be able to convey that to the people I love the most even against societal stereotypes. So along came this beautiful person, who has filled our lives with such joy and pride, who has loved my family as much as it loves him. He has captured my heart. When there are so many things that we can feel we have fallen short on as parents...in this my dream has come true <3
