Arrow My Letter to the Editor made the paper today!!!!!
I was getting ANNOYED with all the BAD press about adoptions lately and wrote in. The only thing that got edited out was the part about Pre-Approval. I was really glad they left most of it the way it was and ran it! At least I was able to do a small part.
