I'm an adoptive dad of 2 wonderful girls, originally from China. They are smart, beautiful, energetic and tenacious. I couldn't be a happier, or more proud dad. 

Scott Simon is a brilliant journalist and author - also a sensitive and intelligent adoptive dad! Adoptive parents rejoice that we have such a great guy giving voice to our hopes, fears, joys, insecurities and loves. I am nearly done with his new book and it's wonderful. 

Also, footnote - Scott is speaking at the PCPA in Portland on Oct 4th. Should be a great night.
