We have also adopted two little boys, Ameri and Zach, now 4 and 2, respectively, and are in the process of adopting our third little boy, Logan, who is 11-months old. We provide love, hugs, shelter, comfort, respect, teaching, listening skills, a friend, a parent, a mentor, and so many other elements associated with interacting effectively with these at-risk youth.
