Adoption is the most loving option I can imagine choosing for a child in need, whether it be the decision to adopt a child or to make an adoption plan for your own flesh and blood when you know that you just can't provide what they need.

But about once every month or two I shoot something off to the New York Times Magazine for their back page, "Lives."
