Adoption Month – When my husband adopted my daughter from a previous marriage, it was a celebrated day. But before he adopted her, I sat him down, as his lawyer-wife, and explained to him what this all meant.

Life before my daughter’s birth was excellent, or so I thought. I was entirely wrapped up in my desires and myself. I was the definition of selfish, but somehow my wonderful wife put up with me through those years. The worst part of it was I didn’t even realize it.
