I don’t claim to know a ton about attachment and bonding, but we have read a fair amount on the subject and tried to prepare ourselves for anything. If you are waiting for your adoption to be completed right now, spend some time reading about attachment.

Over 120 runners and walkers turned out for Nightlight’s second annual 5K  Competitive Run on  Saturday, May 15th in  Greenville, SC. Click here for a recap of the race results. We are grateful to all the participants, volunteers, and sponsors who helped make this adoption awareness event a success!

Oleg Parent, a Nightlight adoptee from Russia, made the sports section of the Orange County Register.  An 18 year old junior kicker at Trabuco Hills High School, he ranks among the nation’s top 15 kicking prospects in the Class of 2011. Oleg’s story is bittersweet, but ultimately uplifting—a timely reminder of the blessings of adoption.
