Tell us a little about yourself. I am daddy to three year-old Meaghan, the husband
of Rosemary for ninteen years, and indebted to so
many people, including Geri Pool, who encouraged us
to continue our adoption search for more than
fourteen years. I am the contributing author of the
story, "The Smile of God".
What was your motivation behind this project? So many of us become discouraged because of the
process of adoption. I want to encourage
birthparents and adoptive parents to not give up.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? We hope everyone who reads these stories will see
we are all "Loved By Choice".
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Jack Cavanaugh, author of the American Family
Portrait series, my very dear friends Judith Dupree
and Rebecca Farnbach, and many other members of the
San Diego Christian Writers' Guild encouraged me to
tell Meaghan's story.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: God chose to adopt us. He gave us much more than
his name. He gave us hope for the future.
